The Texas Longhorns lost some infield depth on Monday when Callum Early entered the NCAA transfer portal after one season on the Forty Acres.
With the entry of INF Callum Early into the portal, @TexasBaseball now sits at 8 entrants.
The Horns have secured three incoming transfers and are still looking to add a couple more based on fit and position. #HookEm️

The 6’0, 190-pounder has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
A product of Midlothian (Va.) James River, Early signed with Liberty as a member of the 2024 recruiting class ranked as the No. 417 shortstop nationally and the No. 47 player in Virginia by Perfect Game with the versatility as a right-handed pitcher, middle infielder, and outfielder.
Early started 28 of his 33 appearances for Liberty as a freshman, slashing .295/.427/.410 with two home runs, six doubles, and 15 RBI. Batting from the left side, Early was as a contact hitter who controls the strike zone — Early’s strikeout rate was 23.8 percent with a 25-to-22 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
At Texas, Early appeared in 11 games, scoring a run against Alabama and stealing a base. The success that Early had at the plate with the Flames didn’t translate, however, as he went hitless in five at bats with two strikeouts and a hit by pitch.
Early is the eighth player to enter the portal, joining outfielder Maddox Monsour, outfielder Will Hill, outfielder/catcher Presley Courville, catcher Andrew Ermis, left-hander Kade Bing, right-hander Cooper Rummel, and right-hander Jadyn Furgason.
