Trevor Goldenetz, a former Long Beach State outfielder who earned an honorable mention on the Big West's all‑conference team as a freshman, has announced his transfer to the University of Texas for the 2027 baseball season. The move comes after a standout debut in which he hit .369 with 12 RBIs, 26 runs, 10 stolen bases and 20 walks against just 16 strikeouts.
A Strategic Reinforcement
Despite a hand injury that limited him to 32 games and 111 at‑bats during the 2026 campaign, Goldenetz brings a proven track record of on‑base skill and speed that should help the Longhorns replenish an outfield that has lost several key contributors.
Texas is retooling its outfield after the departure of Aiden Robbins to the MLB Draft and the graduation of Dariyan Pendergrass. The program has responded by adding a mix of experienced transfers and promising freshmen, aiming to restore depth and competitiveness.
Among the new arrivals are Anthony Pack Jr., who returns after a breakout freshman season, and Ashton Larson, who saw action in left field and at first base during his junior year. Jonah Williams, a two‑sport athlete, also remains on the roster despite a shoulder injury that restricted him to eight games last spring.
The Longhorns have also secured former Kent State outfielder Sawyer Solitaria through the transfer portal, while infielder Linkin Garcia from Texas Tech and catcher Ian Armstrong from Saint Mary's round out a 2026 transfer class that could reshape the team's dynamics.
Incoming freshman Trent Maybin is expected to compete for playing time in the outfield, adding another layer of talent to a squad that is eager to capitalize on its retooled roster and make a strong push in the upcoming season.
