LSU head coach Jay Johnson provides update on outfielder in the transfer portal before CWS
The College World Series hasn't even begun but the college baseball transfer portal has been open for over a week. We hear about it all the time in college football — the calendar isn't ideal. A similar sentiment could be said for baseball's calendar.
A handful of LSU baseball players have announced their intention to transfer as LSU prepares for the College World Series. One of those names is outfielder Mic Paul.
On Tuesday, LSU head coach Jay Johnson offered an update on Paul's status.
Johnson said Paul will remain with the team and travel to Omaha, but he won't be on the Tigers' 27-man roster. Johnson took time to praise Paul and said, 'He's everything right about this program.'
Paul is a redshirt sophomore from Salt Lake City, Utah. The outfielder was a member of LSU's national title team in 2023 but missed all of 2024 with an injury.
In 2025, he's seen just eight at-bats with two hits and four walks.
LSU's opening game vs. Arkansas is slated for 5 p.m. CT on Saturday evening. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.

LSU football loses key recruiting and personnel staffer to NFL organization
LSU football loses key recruiting and personnel staffer to NFL organization According to a report from CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz, LSU football's director of player personnel Preston Tiffany is heading to the NFL. The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to hire the former Tiger, who also held the same position at Ole Miss prior to working in Baton Rouge. He joined the LSU staff in February 2024 and is the second recent departure after director of player development Jordan Arcement moved on to an agency. Tiffany spent four years with the Rebels in recruiting and personnel roles. He and current LSU senior associate athletic director Austin Thomas were instrumental in acquiring talent that led to Ole Miss' best year in program history with 11 wins and a No. 9 finish. Both departed Oxford at the end of the 2023 season. Hailing from Aiken, SC, Tiffany attended South Carolina and worked in recruiting and player personnel as a student assistant. During his time under head coach Brian Kelly, Tiffany helped LSU sign a top 10 class and the nation's best transfer portal class.

MLB draft prospects in College World Series: Is No. 1 pick playing in Omaha?
MLB draft prospects in College World Series: Is No. 1 pick playing in Omaha? Show Caption Hide Caption Which NCAA baseball teams could blow up the bracket The Montgomery Advertiser's Adam Cole and The Southwest Times Record's Jackson Fuller break down who could wreck the tournament bracket. With one month until Major League Baseball's draft, all but a handful of the hundreds of draft-eligible players have concluded their amateur seasons. Yet the 2025 College World Series will provide a final showcase for a fortunate few – including a group that will hear their names called very early on draft night. Others may have to wait a day, although the high-profile platform the CWS affords can likely only help their stock, even as most of the data is already in hand. MLB MOCK DRAFT: Who will Nationals take with first pick? With bracket play commencing in Omaha, USA TODAY Sports examines eight draft-eligible players among college baseball's final octet: Aiva Arquette, SS, Oregon State It could be a long stay in Omaha for the Beavers, but a very short draft night for their 6-5, 220-pound anchor. Arquette has, according to some draft projections, joined the pool of players under consideration for the No. 1 overall pick by the Washington Nationals and shouldn't fall beyond the top three. His farewell to Corvallis was outstanding: Arquette had 14 hits in 36 at-bats (.389) during regional and super regional play as the Beavers survived winner-take-all tilts in both rounds. Arquette plays as large as his measurements suggest, which theoretically might pose a problem as a future shortstop, but he has very smooth actions around the bag and a deluxe offensive package (.354, 18 homers, 1.124 OPS, 112 mph maximum exit velocity). Wehiwa Aloy, SS, Arkansas Not sure if two Hawaiian-born shortstops have ever squared off in the CWS, but that would occur if the Beavers and Razorbacks advance to the championship series. And while Aloy won't likely elbow his way into the draft's top 10, he hardly takes a backseat to Arquette. The SEC player of the year, Aloy is a specimen himself, at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, and cranked 20 home runs for the Razorbacks. A Golden Spikes Finalist, Aloy has elite arm strength and committed just five errors in more than 200 chances this season, and played his way into at least the teens of the first round. Kade Anderson, LHP, LSU The Razorbacks and Tigers are the lone SEC survivors in this diverse pool, and they'll meet in Saturday's opener – with a decent chance at a repeat engagement. Catch Anderson while you can: He'll likely fall somewhere between No. 1 and No. 5 on draft night. In his first season as a starter, Anderson is second in the nation with 163 strikeouts in 103 innings, with a powerful repertoire that belies his 6-2 frame. Zach Root, LHP, Arkansas Root might have been leaped by rotation mate Gage Wood on the draft board, but his import to the Razorbacks can't be undersold. He pitched seven innings of one-hit ball eliminate Tennessee in the super regional and, in 13 postseason innings, given up just four hits and one run. Root, a transfer from East Carolina, seems burlier than his 6-2, 210-pound frame would indicate, but pumps his fastball up to 97 mph and features a fastball-changeup-curveball mix that seems pro-ready. Likely on the outskirts of the first round at the moment, and could benefit from a high-profile Omaha showcase. Mason White, SS, Arizona A third-generation Wildcat, White offers one of the most compelling narratives in this CWS, as his two-run single atoned for an earlier error and lifted Arizona past North Carolina in the decisive super regional game at Chapel Hill. White, at 5-11 and 180 pounds, is the glue for the Wildcats and is aiming to play his way into a first-day draft selection. He went a long way toward that this season, equaling his 19 home runs as a sophomore while cutting his strikeout rate from 30.5% to 21.2%. Jacob Morrison, RHP, Coastal Carolina While the Chanticleers' lone first-round hope is contact-crazy catcher Caden Bodine, Morrison is crucial to their survival in Omaha. He's already slain one big-conference giant, tossing six innings of six-hit, one-run ball at Auburn to eliminate the Tigers. Now, he'll be tough to miss: At 6-8, Morrison is a towering presence on the mound, using that extension to cultivate weak contact and finish sixth in the nation with a 2.15 ERA. Like White, Morrison will be on the fringes of the first-day selection pool, but could be a nice mid-round find for a pitching-hungry team. Daniel Dickinson, 2B, LSU While Anderson figures to be their lone first-round pick, the Tigers will be littered all over the first few rounds. Dickinson's one who will be fun to watch in Omaha. In his lone season in Baton Rouge, the Utah Valley transfer posted a .312/.463/.534 line, stole nine bases and hit 12 home runs. A late bloomer, the 6-foot Dickinson bats third and is a contact machine, drawing 39 walks to just 36 strikeouts over 286 plate appearances. Multiple projections peg him in the second to third round. Payton Brennan, UCLA We'd be remiss to ignore the Bruins, who have quietly dominated their Westwood regionals yet feature few draft-eligible stars. No, the Bruins are a year ahead of schedule, with shortstop Roch Cholowsky a likely top 10 pick in 2026 and a bevy of power arms right behind him. So let's toss some roses to Brennan, a third-year sophomore who's produced 12 hits in 24 at-bats this postseason and slashing .304/.384/.500, with 11 steals this season.

UNC baseball star mocked a late first-round pick in 2025 MLB Draft
UNC baseball star mocked a late first-round pick in 2025 MLB Draft Will Luke Stevenson go pro or stay in Chapel Hill for a third season? If not for several late-inning blunders in their Chapel Hill Super Regional, the North Carolina Tar Heels would be part of this year's College World Series field. UNC dominated Arizona in Game 1, 18-2, then lost 10-8 in Game 2. North Carolina's offense was virtually non-existent in Sunday's Game 3 loss, a 4-3 collapse, with the home team's only runs coming from a Jackson Van De Brake 3-run bomb. The Diamond Heels' bullpen struggled in Games 1 and 2, while Van De Brake committed a costly Game 3 error that shifted momentum. North Carolina should return most of its roster in 2025, but it'll have a much younger team. One star player UNC will miss is catcher Luke Stevenson, who – despite struggling in the Chapel Hill Super Regional – proved himself worthy of an MLB Draft selection. In USA TODAY Sports' latest 2025 MLB Mock Draft – ahead of the College World Series – which starts on Friday, June 13 at 1 p.m. with an Arizona-Coastal Carolina matchup, Stevenson is mocked 26th overall to the Philadelphia Phillies. "(He) does not possess the current offensive profile that (Auburn catcher Ike) Irish offers, but Stevenson is a pure catcher, with an athletic 6-foot-1, 210-pound frame that hit 19 homers for the Tar Heels this season," Gabe Lacques wrote. Stevenson hit for a career .267 batting average during his 2-year career as a Diamond Heel, collecting 117 hits, while mashing 33 home runs and driving in 116 runners. Though you may hear more about his offense, Stevenson is quite the defensive catcher, too, committing just four errors through 125 games.
