Texas Baseball Transfer Portal Tracker: Who's Staying, Who's Leaving, Who's Been Added

In the modern world of college sports, building a championship caliber roster takes more than just elite recruiting at the high school level. Now, teams must add top-tier talent out of the transfer portal as well.

However, the portal goes both ways, as teams must also brace for the potential of players opting to look for a fresh start elsewhere. The Texas Longhorns are certainly no stranger to this phenomenon, especially under the watch of coach Jim Schlossnagle.

In his first two seasons in Austin, Schlossnagle has bolstered the roster with multiple key transfer additions. His first offseason saw him bring in Ethan Mendoza, Thomas Burns and Ruger Riojas while ahead of the 2026 campaign Texas landed a superstar duo in Aiden Robbins and Carson Tinney.

After a disappointing end to their season with a 2-0 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs in the Men's College World Series, the Longhorns again turn their attention to the offseason. Despite that, though, they've already been in active in the portal following its opening on June 1.

As the offseason continues to develop and players announce their decision regarding the transfer portal, check back here for updates on how the Longhorns are faring in the portal.

Who's leaving?

June 17

While some teams have already been hit hard with players entering the portal, Texas so far has been relatively quiet on that front. Only three players have declared their intent to play elsewhere next season — pitchers Cooper Rummell and Jadyn Furgason, as well as outfielder Will Hill.

All three were freshmen for the Longhorns in 2026 but did not see any playing time and will seek a fresh start elsewhere.

On Thursday evening, freshman catcher Presley Courville entered his name into the portal and became the fourth Longhorn so far. Unlike the other three freshmen that have, Courville saw action occasionally during the 2026 season.

He appeared in 16 games for Texas, making four starts. Most of his appearances were as a pinch hitter or relieving Carson Tinney and giving his legs a rest during a long campaign. In those appearances he hit .250 with six hits and two walks while driving in a pair of runs.

His entry is an interesting one, as the likely departure of Tinney to the MLB Draft means he could've possibly started for Texas in 2027. Now, it'll be an interesting look to see if the Longhorns are aggressive for a potential replacement in the portal themselves.

On Saturday, another Longhorn catcher entered their name into the portal. Following Courville's announcement on Thursday and the addition of Ian Armstrong, Andrew Ermis opted to head back to the portal.

He joined Texas in 2026 after transferring in from Temple College and appeared in 14 games for the Longhorns, making seven starts — usually in midweek contests to allow Carson Tinney to rest his legs.

In his brief action, he hit .353 while driving in five runs and drawing eight walks. His departure isn't a huge surprise following Texas bringing in Armstrong, but now means another depth piece could be sought out in the portal to account for both his and Courville's decision to leave.

June 22

Monday evening saw another Longhorn announce their intent to enter transfer portal. This time, the departure came in the form of freshman outfielder Maddox Monsour.

Monsour made 36 appearances with Texas in 2026, with 14 of those being starts. He posted a .185 average and drove in 10 runs with one home run. The freshman also proved to be a strong presence on the bases and logged seven steals.

As for how this impacts Texas next season, look for the club to continue being aggressive in the portal. Two outfield spots are solidified with Pack and Solitaria, however the third and final spot as well as important depth pieces could still be fllled by transfers.

Callum Early also opted to enter the portal. His lone season at Texas saw him appear in 11 games with zero starts. He would have been a solid depth piece for the Longhorns in 2027, however chose to pursue an opportunity elsewhere for more playing time.

June 23

Following a pair of departures on Monday, sophomore pitcher Jason Flores placed his name in the portal as well on Tuesday. This marks the sixth Longhorn to do so since the portal opened on June 1.

In his second season with Texas, the right-handed pitcher appeared in nine games and made a pair of starts. He did regress some from a solid freshman campaign, posting a 6.75 ERA across 12 innings of work while opponents hit .333 against him.

Look for the Longhorns to try and keep him on campus, though, as he's flashed potential to be an important arm coming out of the bullpen in his first two seasons.

June 30

Another departure was announced for the Longhorns on Tuesday evening, with Ashton Larson deciding to look for a change of scenery in 2027 as well. Larson joined the Longhorns in 2026 after spending his first two seasons with the LSU Tigers.

During his lone season in Austin, he played a bit of a utility role for the Longhorns and spent time at first base, in the outfield and also as designated hitter. He slashed .258/.433/.336 while hitting one home run and driving in 16 runs.

Who's Texas bringing in?

June 17

A little over two weeks after the portal opened, the Longhorns have brought in one transfer so far. That one, though, was a big get in the form of former Texas Tech Red Raider, Linkin Garcia.

He made his announcement on June 3 and will head to Austin in 2027 fresh off a dominant debut campaign. Earning All-Big 12 Freshman Team honors, he slashed .338/.387/.489 and displayed impressive defense at both shortstop and third base.

Garcia is likely to man third base for the Longhorns, providing shortstop Adrian Rodriguez with another solid glove on his side of the infield.

June 20

The Longhorns made their second big splash in the portal on Saturday, with former Saint Mary's catcher Ian Armstrong announcing his commitment to Texas. He'll replace Carson Tinney, as Texas looks to continue bolstering its roster and get back to Omaha in 2027.

June 21

It didn't take long for the Longhorns to add another elite option out of the portal. One day after landing Armstrong from Saint Mary's, they secured a commitment from former Kent State outfielder Sawyer Solitaria.

Solitaria was named the MAC Freshman of the Year in 2025 and then led his team with 16 home runs in 2026. He'll man one of the two outfield spots and is a key addition following the departure of Aiden Robbins, pairing up with Anthony Pack Jr. and giving Texas two of its three outfield spots settled.

June 24

Jim Schlossnagle continues to put together a strong transfer portal class ahead of the 2027 season, landing Texas' fourth addition on Wednesday evening. The latest name to head to Austin is former Long Beach State outfielder Trevor Goldenetz.

Goldenetz spent his freshmen season with the Dirtbags and hit .370 in 31 games, while missing some time during the campaign due to a hand injury. His addition also likely rounds out the outfield, as he joins Anthony Pack Jr. and Solitaria.

June 30

It was reported on Tuesday evening that the Longhorns added their fifth portal commit, landing former Middle Tennessee State pitcher, Gavin King.

King appeared in 19 games in 2026, starting three of them. He recorded 42 innings of work with a 3-2 record and 6.00 ERA, while racking up 59 strikeouts, 31 walks and five saves. If Max Weiner can hone his potential, then King could fill the role of closer with Sam Cozart all but guaranteed to be in the rotation in 2027.

Who's staying?

June 17

Aside from the three freshman that have gone into the portal so far, no other announcements have come out of Austin of players opting to leave. However, Texas' season just ended so others could declare for the portal in the days to come.
