Razorbacks’ Transfer Wave Deepens with Peck’s Exit

Freshman infielder Alexander Peck becomes the ninth Arkansas player to enter the transfer portal, joining a broader exodus across college baseball.

Freshman infielder Alexander Peck of the Arkansas Razorbacks has entered the transfer portal, becoming the ninth player from the 2026 roster to do so.

Peck batted just .120 this season with one home run and two RBIs in 16 appearances, but his May 8 blast against Oklahoma proved he could deliver in clutch moments, stepping in for the injured Carter Rutenbar.

A cascade of departures

His exit follows a wave of transfers that has reshaped several college programs. Joining Peck on the move are Carson Brumbaugh, Cayden Mitchell, Tyler Holland, Landon Schaefer, Carson Willis, Joey Lorenzini, Grant Wren and Jacob Imoto, each seeking new opportunities elsewhere.

Several of those players have already committed to new schools, with Brumbaugh heading to Kentucky, Schaefer to Little Rock, Lorenzini to Charlotte, Wren to Arkansas State, Holland to Oklahoma, and Mitchell to an unspecified program.

The ripple effect extends beyond Arkansas, as rival programs in the SEC and beyond are actively recruiting the talent pool left vacant by these departures, signaling a competitive reshuffling as the 2026 season approaches.
