Portal Activity
The 2026 college baseball season ended with a wave of movement in the transfer portal, as eight members of the LSU Tigers roster announced their intent to seek new opportunities.
While the majority of those players are still searching for the right fit, four have already committed to new programs, providing a glimpse of the next chapter for each.
New Destinations
Right‑hander Mavrick Rizy, who earned a reputation as a reliable starter, has joined the Ole Miss Rebels, becoming the only LSU transfer to sign with an SEC rival.
Trent Caraway, who began his collegiate career at Oregon State before spending a year in Baton Rouge, is headed to the University of Miami, bringing his experience to the Hurricanes.
Jaden Noot and DJ Primeaux are moving to programs that compete at a different level; Noot will suit up for San Diego State University, while Primeaux has committed to Nicholls State University.
The Uncommitted Pitcher
Freshman pitcher Marcos Paz, considered the most significant loss for LSU’s rotation, remains without a new destination. Early whispers suggest he may be eyeing a move to Texas A&M, though no official contact has been confirmed.
Coaches and analysts alike are watching his decision closely, as his next step could influence the competitive balance within the SEC and beyond.
