Last time that Sam appeared in a Longhorn uniform- October 2011
Sam Stafford spent his sophomore season, and the beginning of his junior year, mostly as a midweek starter at the University of Texas.
By the end of 2011, Stafford had established himself as a solid No. 2 option behind national player of the year Taylor Jungmann, the Brewers' first-round pick a year ago. The Longhorns made their record 34th appearance at the College World Series, as Stafford solidified his spot as the team's ace in 2012.
But a shoulder injury kept him from signing with the Yankees, who took him in the second round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. Two surgeries later, and Stafford was lost for his entire senior season. Texas went on to miss out on the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1998.
