As I said in the insider notes, I expect four players to announce their intent to transfer very soon.
Three of those have now happened.
- OF Matt Scott
- OF Donovan Jordan
- LHP Chance Covert
None of those were on the postseason roster.
The one I’m waiting on is, however.

Tuesday 6:05 PM Update:
I hinted at this last week and it’s now happened. Ace Whitehead will be transferring.
***
Tuesday 9:05 PM Update: Texas will begin hosting prospects tomorrow.
9:35 p.m. Update: And here is the fourth one I told yall to expect (not counting the fan favorite hint I dropped awhile back).
This is the one who was on the postseason roster.

Thursday, 9 a.m. update: OTF has learned that Texas OF Tommy Farmer IV has entered the transfer portal. On3's Pete Nakos was first to report the departure of Farmer, who hit .249 in 58 games (48 starts) for the Longhorns in 2025.
With Farmer's entry into the portal, six members of the Longhorns' 2025 roster will play elsewhere in 2026 (as of 9 a.m. on Thursday):
— LHP Chance Covert
— OF Tommy Farmer IV
— OF Donovan Jordan
— INF/OF Sam Richardson
— OF Matt Scott II
— LHP Ace Whitehead
—
Thursday 10:30 AM Update: I am expecting a handful of current players on roster to enter the portal relatively soon.
—
Thursday 10:37 AM UPDATE: That didn’t take long. Two more have entered:
INF Carson Luna
C Oliver Service
I still expect at least one more announced today.
—
12:10 PM Update: A little late to report this, as I was away, but RHP Easton Tumis has entered the portal. This was expected, as all that have been announced today were.
That’s now nine that have departed the team:

— OF Tommy Farmer IV
— OF Donovan Jordan
— Carson Luna
— INF/OF Sam Richardson
— C Oliver Service

Thursday (6/12), 3:45 p.m. update: Texas has picked up its second transfer portal commitment of the cycle, landing Butler outfielder Jack Moroknek.
A 6-foot-3-inch, 185-pound redshirt junior for the Bulldogs in 2025, Morokrek was a second-team All-Big East selection who led Butler in hits (81), average (.372), total bases (153), RBI (57), home runs (18), runs scored (57), slugging percentage (.702) and OPS (1.145).
