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.

Clauss, listed at 6-foot-2, 190 pounds, is the state’s top 2025 baseball recruit, according to Perfect Game USA and Prep Baseball Nevada. He is ranked 42nd nationally in his class by Perfect Game USA.

Clauss hit .404 with 39 runs scored and 20 RBIs as a junior last season to help the Panthers win the Class 5A state title. Louisiana State is one of the top programs in college baseball and won the College World Series in 2023.
