Clay Van Hook, who played and coached at the University of Texas, has been named an assistant baseball coach at McNeese State.
Cowboy head coach Terry Burrows announced Van Hook’s appointment. He will join Bubbs Merrill on Burrows’ staff.
“We’re excited to have Clay join our staff,” Burrows said. “He comes from a quality program and has the experience of having worked with one of the best coaches in college baseball in Augie Garrido.”
Burrows said that the 23 year old coach will work with the infielders, will help with hitting and will recruit.
A native of Brenham, TX, Van Hook played three seasons at the University of Texas as an infielder. He also served as a student assistant coach for the Longhorns for the 2008 season.
In his first year with Texas, he was named to the Big 12 all-conference second team as an infielder. In his three years with the Longhorns he was one of the team’s better fielding infielders, committing only seven errors in 94 games.
Van Hook also played one season of baseball at Navarro Junior College, being named to play in the Texas/New Mexico junior college all-star game.
During his high school career at Brenham High, he was named to the all-state baseball team four years in a row and played in the Texas Class AAAA state championship game as a quarterback.
