Folks, chalk up another win for the Texas Longhorns in the transfer portal. Staying aggressive in their mission to retool the roster ahead of the 2026 season, Jim Schlossnagle and his staff have come out of the gates red hot this offseason in terms of adding players via the portal. That hot streak continued on Friday afternoon, as the Longhorns landed another commitment. This one came from one of the top arms available in Western Kentucky's Cal Higgins.

The transfer portal for college baseball has not been open a full month and Jim Schlossnagle and his staff have still put together an impressive haul of recruits. If the portal were to close early it would still be one of the best groups of additions heading into the 2026 season. Fortunately for the Texas Longhorns, that won't be happening. And on Wednesday their already stacked haul of portal players grew even stronger.

As the offseason continues to progress, teams looking ahead to next season do so with their eye firmly on the transfer portal. For the Texas Longhorns, it has been an aggressive approach to the portal in the early stages of its opening. Jim Schlossnagle wasted no time bringing in elite players to The Forty Acres. So far they have landed Wichita State's Josh Livingston, Butler's Jack Moroknek, Georgia State's Kaleb Freeman and Mississippi State's Luke Dotson.

Under the guidance of Jim Schlossnagle, the Texas Longhorns have shown they are not afraid to do exactly that. This was illustrated during his first offseason in Austin in 2024 with the additions of second baseman Ethan Mendoza and left-handed pitcher Jared Spencer from the portal.

Under the guidance of skipper Jim Schlossnagle, the Texas Longhorns have been one of the more aggressive teams in the transfer portal. He attacked the portal in his first offseason in Austin in 2024, landing multiple big-time commits in the short time he had to work with after taking the job. Most notably were the additions of second baseman Ethan Mendoza and left-handed pitcher Jared Spencer. That approach to the portal has remained the same one year later.
