Former Aggie utility player rejoins Texas A&M after a record-breaking season at SEU
He's Back! In a surprising development, former Texas A&M utility player Travis Chestnut announced via social media that he will be transferring back to Texas A&M for his final season.
Nobody saw this coming, but it's a welcome addition to a team that needs veteran leadership, especially from someone already familiar with the university and head coach Michael Earley.
After the 2024 season, eligibility status remained unclear for several Aggies, most notably Evan Aschenbeck and Chestnut. The NCAA dragged its feet, prompting both players to pursue other opportunities: Aschenbeck signed a professional contract, while Chestnut accepted a Division II offer from St. Edward's University.
During his time at SEU, Chestnut played in 60 games, batting .308 with 54 RBIs and 40 stolen bases. His 72 runs and 40 stolen bases set team records for the Hilltoppers. Chestnut's return to Aggieland brings speed to the basepaths and College World Series experience to a young, talented roster.
