North Texas's Austin Aune is believed to be the oldest quarterback to start a game in the modern era of Division I and the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Instead, he took in the historic moment from his couch with his wife and 8-month-old daughter, roughly 45 minutes north of Globe Life Field, where Judge and the Yankees were playing the Texas Rangers.
“It was just consistency at the plate. I struck out way too much. When I did hit the ball, I made great contact and hit for a bit of power,” said Aune, who never advanced beyond the organization’s high Class A minor league affiliate. “I’d say the writing was on the wall toward the end of my last year. I was struggling a lot, was kind of down on myself.”While Aune’s dream of becoming a professional baseball player was over at 24, he wasn’t ready to stop playing sports just yet.
While Aune’s initial school, TCU, showed interest, he ended up at Arkansas. He joined in the spring of 2018 but realized he needed time to reacquaint himself with the nuances of the game. Aune thought it would be easier to do that in a place where he felt comfortable and close to his family. So he returned home and started working out at his local high school, throwing with the team’s current players under the tutelage of his high school quarterbacks coach.
Aune started the 2021 season second on the depth chart behind Jace Ruder. Following a couple of rough performances by Ruder, Aune was given an opportunity to lead the team, and he didn’t disappoint. Against Missouri, he threw for 305 yards and four touchdowns in a 48-35 loss, earning the starting job.With Aune under center, North Texas rebounded from a 1-6 start to win its final five games — including a 45-23 victory over 11-0 Texas San Antonio — to become bowl eligible.
