Missouri Tigers baseball made their second addition of the transfer portal Sunday, adding former Texas A&M utility player Jamal George.

The Puerto Rico native started in 17 games on the season, spending time in the outfield and at second base. He batted .231 on the year, plus three doubles and four RBI.

Before spending the last season at Texas A&M, George played at Alabama State in the first two years of his collegiate career. In his freshman year, he was named the 2023 SWAC Freshman of the Year.

George joins pitcher Keyler Gonzalez, coming from D-II Nova Southeastern, in Missouri's 2026 transfer class. Meanwhile, 11 players have transferred out of the program. The Tigers are looking to rebuild after finishing the 2025 season at the bottom of the Southeastern Conference with a 16-39 record.
