Andrew Ermis, a standout catcher from Texas, has announced his transfer to TCU for his senior season, bringing a .353 career batting average and a .571 on‑base percentage to the Horned Frogs.
Ermis honed his craft at Temple College, where over two seasons he led the nation in several offensive categories, amassing a career that placed him among the most prolific junior‑college hitters.
During the 2026 campaign with the Texas Longhorns, he appeared in seven games, collecting six hits and five RBIs, a performance that underscored his high‑school promise and hinted at untapped potential.
A Recruiting Surge in Fort Worth
TCU’s coaching staff has capitalized on the transfer portal, assembling a class that includes Tanner Griffith, Dominic Kibler, Bammer Maes, Caleb Eagar, Trace Mazon, James Nunnallee and George Gilson, each adding a blend of power and speed.
The influx of talent reflects a strategic push by the Horned Frogs to reclaim a spot among the nation’s elite programs, leveraging both domestic prospects and transfers to reshape the roster.
Ermis’s addition bolsters the team’s catching depth and introduces a veteran presence to a group that has relied heavily on freshmen in recent years, potentially accelerating the program’s return to the College World Series.
The moves underscore the growing importance of the transfer market in college baseball, where programs like TCU and Texas Longhorns navigate a competitive landscape that rewards agility and strategic recruiting.
