So ummmm can we bring the Tortillas back 🙃

[Mike Leslie @MikeLeslieWFAA]

Seen a TON of misinformation regarding transfers for Texas and Texas Tech softball. The numbers floating around are incorrect for both teams. So this should help provide some accurate information and also some context to the discussion.

Texas Tech has eight new transfers on the roster in 2026. They have 15 total transfers.

Texas has four new transfers on the roster in 2026. They have five total transfers.

Texas Tech's eight new transfers this season:
Jackie Lis (Southern Illinois)
Mia Williams (Florida)
Lagi Quiroga (Cal)
Taylor Pannell (Tennessee)
Desi Spearman (New Mexico State)
Jazzy Burns (Ohio State)
Kaitlyn Terry (UCLA)
Nikolette Schmidt (Houston)

Texas' four new transfers this season:
Kaiah Altmeyer (Arizona)
Taylor Anderson (Oklahoma State)
Brenlee Gonzales (Texas Tech)
Sophia Bordi (Oklahoma)

Texas Tech's prior transfers:
Alana Johnson (Washington)
Nija Canady (Stanford)
Mihyia Davis (Louisiana)
Chloe Riasetto (Louisiana)
Vic Valdez (Louisiana)
Lauren Allred (Louisiana)
Makayla Garcia (UT-Tyler)

Texas' prior transfers:
Kaydee Bennett (Abilene Christian)

One other note of context: Gerry Glasco took over at Texas Tech prior to the 2025 season. Davis, Riassetto, Allred, and Valdez came with him from Louisiana (along with the now graduated Alexa Langeliers) to help build this new program that had only three returners from the 2024 team: Reagan Jennings, Logan Halleman, and Demi Elder.

They had three players left from the prior era. The portal (and their eight-player recruiting class for 2025) was necessary to mold a roster out of thin air.

So anyway, stop sharing that bogus graphic... and also stop acting like any team that is utilizing the transfer portal or NIL (Texas, Texas Tech or anyone else) is doing anything wrong.
