Texas adds to baseball transfer portal haul with Long Beach State OF Trevor Goldenetz

After wrapping an official visit to Texas on Wednesday, Long Beach State outfielder Trevor Goldenetz became the latest transfer portal commitment for Jim Schlossnagle and the Longhorns.

Goldenetz is the second transfer outfielder to commit to Texas in the current cycle, joining Kent State’s Sawyer Solitaria. Goldenetz and Solitaria make up a four-member portal haul as of Wednesday, a group that includes Texas Tech infielder Linkin Garcia and St. Mary’s catcher Ian Armstrong.

The 6-foot-1-inch, 180-pound Goldenetz had a productive season as a freshman for the Dirtbags, hitting .370 in 30 games before suffering a hand injury, which forced him to miss more than a month of action in April and May. Goldenetz, who scored 26 runs, walked 19 times and recorded a .489 on-base percentage, made it back to appear in the team’s season-ending road loss to Cal Poly on May 16 after he was hit by a pitch and scored a run in an April 6 home loss to Cal Baptist.

With All-American Aiden Robbins expected to be an early-round selection in the 2026 MLB Draft, Jayden Duplantier and Dariyan Pendergrass out of eligibility and Maddox Monsour entering the transfer portal, Schlossnagle’s staff has made acquiring outfielders a priority during the current portal cycle.  While the Longhorns will welcome SEC Freshman of the Year Anthony Pack Jr. back for his sophomore season in 2027, Jonah Williams is coming off an early-season shoulder injury and returned to the football program for the 2026 season, forcing Schlossnagle and the Texas coaches to mine the portal for players fit to compete for the two open outfield spots alongside Pack.

Along with Goldenetz and Solitaria, the Longhorns continue to pursue other transfer targets in the outfield. On Texas Football has been told that Oregon transfer Angel Laya (.296/.396/.538 with 14 home runs and 47 RBI) is one of the targets of interest for Texas.
