Nevada’s top 2025 baseball recruit commits to new SEC school
One of Nevada’s top baseball recruits is switching his college commitment.
Palo Verde shortstop Ethan Clauss announced his college commitment to Louisiana State on his social media accounts Wednesday. Clauss decommitted from Texas A&M last month after coach Jim Schlossnagle left to coach Texas.
I want to give praise to my Lord and Savior for giving me the ability to play the game I love. I also want to thank all of my coaches, teammates, friends, and most importantly my family for helping me throughout my journey. Finally, I would like to thank @LSUCoachJ.
