Texas A&M's back-to-back losses to USC in the College Station Regional weren't shocking, given the pitching struggles that haunted the Aggies throughout the regular season, and even though the offense scored 17 runs against Texas State, second-year coach Michael Earley's top three batters struggled at the plate when it mattered most.
However, after firing second-year pitching coach Jason Kelley, Earley hired former MLB pitching coach/coordinator Barry Enright to the position, resulting in two key transfer commitments from Wichita State transfer pitcher Johnny Nuanez, who finished the 2026 season with 6-2 with a 2.56 ERA over 56 1/3 innings and, on Sunday night, UNLV transfer HP Jase Evangelista, who was 4-1 with 64 strikeouts as a junior.
Already expected to land Texas State transfer RHP Wade Cooper, who will reportedly arrive on campus this Wednesday, On3 insider Pete Nakos also confirmed that fact, and after landing Clemson transfer C/OF Nate Savoie on Monday night, Michael Earley deserves credit for making significant progress this month.
Likely set to lose star hitters Caden Sorrell, Gavin Grahovac, and Chris Hacopian, Earley will need to add a handful of veteran infielders/outfielders to pair with incoming sophomores Nico Partida, Boston Kellner, and Jorian Wilson after Savoie, Jack Bell, and Western Kentucky transfer infielder Lane Arroyos.

Sources tell On3 that Cooper is set to arrive on a visit to Texas A&M on Wednesday. It was previously set for Monday. The Aggies are expected to land a commitment from the right-hander, who finished the season with a 4.72 ERA in 66.2 innings pitched with 73 strikeouts and five saves.
