Longhorns outfielder Tommy Farmer enters the transfer portal
After two seasons with the Texas Longhorns, Tommy Farmer IV is moving on. The talented outfielder announced on Thursday that he was entering the transfer portal. He is the sixth Longhorn to enter the portal since it opened. The California native should draw plenty of interest from programs seeking help in the outfield. In 74 games as a Longhorn, Farmer posted a .244 batting average while recording 14 extra-base hits. Although those statistics may not jump off the page, he is coming off the best season of his career. During the 2025 campaign, the Oaks Christian High School product set career highs in games with 58, home runs with one, and RBI with 25. Advertisement As Farmer looks to build on his success last year, he will have to make more contact. He struck out 65 times during his sophomore campaign, the second most on the team. When Farmer did reach base, he struggled to maximize his speed, going 7-12 on stolen base attempts. Coming out of high school, Farmer was ranked as the 106th-best outfielder in his recruiting class. He was also ranked as the 81st-best player in the state of California. Over the last few years in Texas, he has shown flashes of being that player while excelling on defense. Despite his struggles at the plate, Farmer was one of the Longhorns' best players defensively. Farmer posted a .987 fielding percentage and only committed one error. While he will have to battle for playing time, Farmer has proven at the college level that he can be an elite defender. Advertisement At Farmer's next stop, the key to more playing time will be improvement at the plate and base paths. If he can do that, he has the potential to be a very productive player.
