With one swig from a flask, Texas Longhorns catcher Preston Hoffart has reportedly been suspended from the program. Danny Davis of the Austin Statesman reports Hoffart got a pull off the flask during a game Tuesday night in San Marcos where the Longhorns beat Texas State 9-8.
As of Thursday night, Hoffart’s bio had been removed from the team’s website.
“Sit back and relax,” Hoffart wrote on Instagram in early February while posing in his Texas jersey in front of a theater billboard that reads “Welcome to the show.”
Now it appears Hoffart has already been kicked out of the show for putting on a content show for social media.
It’s been an interesting week for college baseball’s No. 1 team. Tuesday you had Hoffart grabbing a pull and then Wednesday the Longhorns lost at home to Texas State 6-4. It was just the second time in program history that Texas State had beaten a No. 1 team on the road. The other time that happened? 2005.
Texas went on to win the College World Series that season.
Maybe even booted from the team? pic.twitter.com/6estTVHoxe

He wouldn’t be removed from the program if this was the first time.
I had 2 kids play College sports, one in D1. The NCAA doesn’t allow them to be seen in a photo at a club with a drink in their hands.. or at a frat party with a NattyLite… or at a dinner with wine with their parents — even if they are over 21.
Doing it while in a game, if NOT kicked of the team, would probably be an instant NCAA sanction.
The kid needs help if he needs a drink so bad he has to bring a flask with him to the ball park.
What a dumbass.
Gettin his drink on
