Texas State Athletics

Tyler Sibley was a four-time Texas State baseball letterwinner from 2009 to 2012 where he served as a team captain for three years while helping lead the most winningest four-year period in Texas State baseball history that included winning three Southland Conference championships and making two NCAA regional appearances. At the time of his induction, Sibley still holds eight Texas State career records including hits (282), total bases (407) and runs scored (219).
 
As a freshman, Sibley started 55 games in the outfield and closed out the season with a .359 batting average, 10 home runs and 84 hits. The newcomer set a single-season and Southland Conference record with 77 runs scored and was 14-of-18 in stolen bases. He was named to the Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American, Baseball American Freshman All-American Second Team, and All-Southland Conference Second Team while helping propel the Bobcats to the regular season Southland Conference championship and an at-large NCAA regional bid in Austin, TX.
 
Despite an injury-riddled sophomore season, Sibley started 43 of 47 games and played both second base and outfield. He hit .304 with a .406 on-base percentage. Sibley was one of the toughest Bobcats to strike out, finishing the season with just 10 strikeouts in 203 plate appearances. Texas State won back-to-back regular season Southland Conference championships for the first time in school history while falling short in the conference tournament championship game where Sibley  was named to the Southland Conference All-Tournament Team.
 
To begin the 2011 season, Sibley had a 30-game hitting streak dating back to the last five games of the 2010 campaign and set a Texas State record for career runs scored during the season. Sibley hit.340 from the top of the lineup with 62 runs scored, 37 RBIs, 6 home runs and 20 stolen bases. He earned the Southland Conference Baseball Student Athlete of the Year award and was named to the All-Southland First Team, Southland Conference All-Tournament Team and ABCA All-South Central Region First Team in a historic season that saw the Bobcats three-peat their regular season conference championship and make a remarkable run through the losers bracket to win the Southland Conference tournament and earn an automatic bid to the NCAA regionals in Austin, Texas. Following his junior season, Sibley was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2011 MLB Draft, but elected to come back to school to finish his degree and work to push the Bobcats deeper into the postseason.
 
While he earned numerous on-field awards during his time at Texas State, Sibley also earned multiple academic honors throughout his career. He was named to the Southland Conference All-Academic First Team three times, CoSIDA Academic All-America Second Team, and CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team. As a student, he was an active member of Beta Gamma Sigma, Phi Eta Sigma, Sigma Alpha Lambda, and a leader in the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). Sibley went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting in 2012 while staying on with the Texas State baseball program to serve as the Director of Baseball Operations while earning his Master’s in Accountancy in 2013.
 
Sibley has remained active with Texas State Athletics by serving as a Texas State Athletics "T" Association Board of Directors member, including serving as President. Professionally, he is a Principal of San Antonio-based Kairoi Residential, which is a full-service real estate investment, management and development firm focused on multifamily and mixed-use communities across the country. He also founded San Marcos based Pursuant Capital Ventures and Pursuant Ventures Development, which have invested in strategic real estate assets and operating company ventures. Sibley has been nominated for multiple 40 under 40 awards in San Antonio, Dallas-Fort Worth, Charlotte, and Denver.
 
Sibley initiated the Texas State Bobcat Ballpark renovation project with a donation of $1 million leadoff gift in 2023. With this gift, Sibley became the youngest member in Texas State University history to join the Texas State Heroes, a distinguished group of individuals, companies and foundations that have donated $1 million or more to Texas State University.
 
In addition to the gift, in 2017 Sibley established the Tyler M. Sibley Endowed Scholarship in Student-Athlete Excellence which awards an annual scholarship to a Texas State baseball student-athlete in the McCoy College of Business majoring in accounting, finance or economics while earning a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
