Five starters from Texas A&M’s College World Series runner-up team entered the transfer portal after coach Jim Schlossnagle left for Texas, per multiple media reports on Wednesday.
Texas A&M players are allowed to enter the portal via a 30-day transfer window that opened Tuesday, when Schlossnagle took over as Texas’ coach, per NCAA transfer rules.
Eleven Aggies, including starters Jace LaViolette, Gavin Grahovac, Kaeden Kent, Ali Camarillo and Hayden Schott, opted to enter the transfer portal Wednesday, per the reports.
Max Kaufer, Caden Sorrell, Jack Bell, Carl Schmidt, Justin Vossos and Jett Johnson are also reportedly set to transfer.
LaViolette, who hit .309 with 29 homers and 16 doubles but sustained a hamstring injury in the College World Series, is expected to be among the top picks in next month’s MLB draft.
Grahovac hit .298 with 23 homers with 66 RBIs en route to SEC Freshman of the Year honors.
Kent, the son of former NL MVP Jeff Kent, filled in after Braden Montgomery suffered a leg injury and hit .417 with a homer and seven RBIs in Omaha.
