Representing A&M will be senior Bronson Burgoon, junior Andrea Pavan, sophomores Nacho Elvira and Conrad Shindler, and freshman Geoff Shaw.
"Anytime you play in Austin it is exciting," A&M Coach J.T. Higgins said. "Taking on Texas on their home course is challenging enough but when you throw in all the Big 12 South teams, along with USC and several other ranked teams, we know we better be ready to compete. There is a good chance we'll be back on this course for the NCAA regional, so it is also an opportunity for us to get a good feel for the course."
The UT Golf Club will host the NCAA Central Regional in May.
