An Early Longhorn baseball player will become a Howard Payne Yellow Jacket and play his collegiate baseball close to home.

Early Longhorn senior Rylie Hill on Monday signed a letter of intent to continue his baseball and academic career at Howard Payne University.

Hill played an integral role in the Longhorns’ 18-6 season, second-place finish in District 8-3A and postseason appearance.
