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.
