‘I had no clue,’ Texas A&M senior Ryan Targac found out about Schlossnagle departure on X

“It has been the best four years of my life and that would not have been possible without the support. Forever thankful! Thanks and Gig’em!”

Less than 24 hours after the College World Series finals concluded, many members of the 12th Man were shocked to learn head coach Jim Schlossnagle was departing Texas A&M to become the leader of the rival Texas Longhorns in Austin.

Not even the player bestowed with the sacred No. 12 knew about what was coming Tuesday night. Senior utility player Ryan Targac shared a message with Aggies fans on Tuesday afternoon via X.

I’ve been sitting on this for a while, but I can’t express my gratitude enough to Texas A&M University and the 12th Man,” Targac stated. “It has been the best four years of my life and that would not have been possible without the endless support. Forever thankful! Thanks and Gig’Em!

Texas A&M student Cameron Holy replied to Targac’s statement by saying, ‘Once again no mention of a coach. It’s all making sense,” alluding to the Schlossnagle rumors. Then Targac cleared the air.

“I found out on Twitter probably two hours after I posted this,” he proclaimed. “I had no clue.”

Based on Targac’s comment, it seems players were right alongside the 12th Man in being left in the dark by the former Aggies manager.
