Texas has landed a really intriguing addition in the portal with Campbell outfielder Carlos Lugo.

Lugo put together an outstanding true freshman season in 2026, earning First Team All-CAA and CAA All-Rookie Team honors after hitting .347 with a team-high 77 hits. He started 54 games, posted 25 multi-hit games, drew 32 walks, and put together a 15-game hitting streak during the season. He also earned CAA Rookie of the Week honors four different times.

Lugo isn’t just an outfielder, either.

He made eight relief appearances on the mound, posting a 3.48 ERA with 12 strikeouts in 10.1 innings and recording his first career save late in the season.

Coming out of Calvary Christian Academy in Florida, Lugo hit .494 as a senior with 12 doubles, seven home runs and 17 stolen bases, while finishing in the top 10% of his graduating class academically.

With this commitment, Texas adds another proven bat with multiple years of eligibility. 

Lugo chose Texas over Arkansas, North Carolina and Georgia.

I don't know much about that league, but he had 32 walks to 22 strikeouts and only had 2 multi-strikeout games (and each was just 2 Ks).  In the field, he had only 2 errors and was credited with 5 assists.
