Texas A&M Baseball 2025 Transfer Portal Tracker
Texas A&M Baseball 2025 Transfer Portal Tracker It's been a whirlwind 2025 season for the Texas A&M baseball team, filled with ups and downs that ultimately led to a disappointing finish. After becoming the first preseason No. 1 team in decades to miss the NCAA Tournament, first-year head coach Michael Earley's job was in question for weeks. However, Texas A&M athletic director Trev Alberts announced that Earley would be retained, though changes were on the horizon. One of those changes came in the coaching staff, with fielding coach Will Fox being the first to be let go. Fox spent six seasons in Aggieland, but given the number of errors on seemingly routine plays, the Aggies felt it was time to move in a different direction. More staffing changes could follow, and the same uncertainty applies to the roster. While several players have already committed to returning under Earley for the 2026 season, others will inevitably depart for personal reasons. Entering the transfer portal does not necessarily mean a player is leaving, but starting the process early offers the best chance of finding a new team. To help keep track, here is the updated transfer portal tracker of who is going and who is coming. Entered Portal: Kyrin LeBlanc - Pitcher - Junior Nathan Tobin - Outfield - Freshman Hayden Crites - Catcher - Freshman Committed / Returning to A&M: Gavin Grahovac - Infield - Sophomore Terrence Kiel II - Outfield - Freshman Clayton Freshcorn - Pitcher - Sophomore Caden McCoy - Pitcher - Freshman Bear Harrison - Catcher - Sophomore Contact/Follow us @AggiesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&M news, notes and opinions.

Where does Texas A&M's superstar running back rank among non-quarterbacks in 2025?
Where does Texas A&M's superstar running back rank among non-quarterbacks in 2025? After showcasing his potential in front of the Aggie faithful in Bryan-College Station, Texas, last season, the hype is growing at a rapid pace for what Texas A&M's superstar running back can bring to the table for the program in 2025. According to ESPN's non-quarterback rankings, senior back Le'Veon Moss is ranked as the No. 8 player in the country who is not a signal-caller heading into this year's campaign. The 2024 All-SEC Second Team running back recorded 765 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground for the Aggies in 2024. Even though the Walker, Louisiana, native suffered an injury against South Carolina in early November that sidelined him for the rest of the year, Moss still displayed his athleticism and ability to make the best teams in the country struggle to bring him down. He played a huge role in aiding the Aggies to become the second-best rushing attack in the conference and the ninth-best unit in the country. At the SEC Spring Meetings, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko said that Moss will be at full health heading into fall camp in a couple of months, however. "He'll be 100% for sure for fall camp. I think he's running. He's here now, like he didn't go home for break. He's here continuing to work with our PT department. When you go out there and watch him run, he looks really good right now. And so, we're excited with how that rehab process has gone." As long as Moss' recovery continues to go well, he has the skillset, mindset and experience to become one of the most talented non-quarterbacks in the country this season.

Five of Texas A&M's transfer additions ranked in Evan Miyakawa's Top 100 Transfer Rankings
Five of Texas A&M's transfer additions ranked in Evan Miyakawa's Top 100 Transfer Rankings Texas A&M's basketball future is in great hands under new head coach Bucky McMillan, who has all but rebuilt a program that was decimated entirely a little less than two months ago after former head coach Buzz Williams departed for Maryland. So far, he has added nine players from the transfer portal, including five who are viewed as "elite" and immediate contributors ahead of the 2025-2026 season. On Friday, college basketball analytics expert Evan Miyakawa released his Top 100 transfer portal rankings, which utilize his unique grading system based on each player's offensive and defensive ratings from their performances during the 2024 season. Going back to the five out of nine new Texas A&M players, forwards Mackenzie Mgbako, Rashaun Agee, guard Pop Isaacs, center Federiko Federiko and small forward Rylan Griffen are all ranked in the Top 100 of Miyakawa's rankings, making the Aggies the only team with more than four players within the Top 100, which is mightly impressive, giving McMillan more than enough talent to work with. Here is where all five players are ranked: Forward Mackenzie Mgbako (40th) Guard Pop Isaacs (51st) Forward Rashaun Agee (60th) Center Federiko Federiko (61st) Shooting guard Rylan Griffen (80th) Currently, Texas A&M's 2025 roster consists of 12 players, allowing the team to add three more players to reach the 15-player maximum. It is likely looking to add three more depth pieces at guard, wing, and center.

Texas A&M announces Michael Earley will return for second season as baseball coach
Texas A&M announces Michael Earley will return for second season as baseball coach Show Caption Hide Caption FSU baseball head coach Link Jarrett talks earning 9 seed in College World Series FSU baseball head coach Link Jarrett talks earning 9 seed in College World Series Texas A&M baseball confirmed coach Michael Earley will return for his second season on Friday. Earley, in his first season after taking over for now-Texas coach Jim Schlossnagle, missed out on the NCAA tournament despite Texas A&M opening the season as the preseason No. 1-ranked team. REQUIRED READING: College World Series predictions: Who will reach Omaha in 2025 NCAA baseball tournament? Texas A&M athletic director Trev Alberts told reporters Wednesday at the SEC spring meetings in Destin, Florida, they were assessing the future of the program. Alberts came to the conclusion of backing Earley going forward, however. "Earlier today, I met with Coach Earley to discuss the state of our baseball program. I appreciate Mike's work in taking a holistic view of what changes need to be made so that we have a baseball program that meets our high standards, Alberts' statement read Friday. "Baseball success is critically important to Texas A&M. I am confident in Mike's ability to execute the needed change and fully support his vision going forward." Texas A&M finished the season with a 30-26 record, including an 11-19 mark in SEC play. The Aggies were also swept by Missouri late in the season, giving the Tigers their only three conference wins of the year in one series. Aggies players, including star outfielder Jace LaViolette, also have been outward in their support of Earley throughout the season. "We will never stop fighting especially for (Earley)," LaViolette told SEC Network at the SEC tournament. "I think we'll all run through a brick wall for that guy if he tells us to." Texas A&M battled numerous injuries in 2025, losing preseason All-American Gavin Grahovac to a season-ending injury and Caeden Sorrell for large chunks of the year. LaViolette, a projected first-round pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, broke a bone in his hand at the SEC tournament. The Aggies went to the national championship series last season, falling to Tennessee in a deciding Game 3 under Schlossnagle. Earley spent three seasons as Texas A&M's hitting coach before being elevated to head coach. He started his coaching career as an assistant at Arizona State from 2017-21 before joining Schlossnagle in College Station.

Texas A&M athletic director shocks with announcement about future of baseball program
Texas A&M athletic director shocks with announcement about future of baseball program After days of anticipation, Texas A&M athletic director Trev Alberts has seemingly made his decision regarding the future of the baseball program moving forward. According to The Eagle reporter Alex Miller, Alberts announced on Friday afternoon that head coach Michael Earley will remain with the team after missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2021. The Aggies were also the first program in college baseball since 1991 to be ranked as the unanimous No. 1 team and not make postseason play. Here is the statement from Alberts on the state of the position and his discussions with Earley: Earley's first season at the helm was one that most Aggie fans hope to forget. Texas A&M went 30-26 (11-19 SEC) after being ranked as the best team in baseball before the season began. The only hope of the program reaching postseason play diminished after the Aggies fell to the LSU Tigers in the Southeastern Conference Tournament quarterfinals. Following the NCAA Tournament Selection Show, and the inevitability of the Aggies missing the tournament was confirmed, the discussions of the program's direction were sparked immediately. Potential head coaches were tossed around on social media, as the fanbase felt that Alberts would move forward following what was a disappointing season, to say the least. However, it seems that Alberts and the Texas A&M baseball program are moving forward with Earley at the helm for the foreseeable future. The former hitting coach and assistant turned head coach looks to be getting an opportunity to rewrite the wrongs that occurred in 2025 and get Texas A&M back to the apex of college baseball. Will Earley turn things around in College Station? Only time will tell. If retaining Earley is truly the final decision, the surprising announcement from Alberts will certainly raise eyebrows if the program is not able to have success in 2026.
