Earley staff landing big names out of the transfer portal
Earley and his assistants have done more than just convince key pieces from last season to stay. The staff has been working the transfer portal.
After landing Texas Tech standout 1st baseman Gavin Kash on Tuesday, the Aggies added former USC catcher Jacob Galloway on Wednesday.
“First, I’d like to thank all of my coaches and teammates at USC for making my first two years of college the best time of my life. Made many great memories that I will remember for the rest of my life. With that being said I’d proudly like to announce my commitment to @aggiebaseball,” Galloway wrote in an Instagram post announcing his commitment. “I’m extremely grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to compete and give my all to this program. Gig ‘em!!! “
In limited as a freshman in 2023 (24 games, 19 starts), Galloway’s .365 batting average was best on the team. He stepped into a starting role for 2024.
