Morgan spent the past 12 season with the CUW program
#CUW
⚾️ Pre-season Top 25 ranking
⚾️ Ace is Hunter Elliot who already has some Preseason All-American accolades
⚾️ The lefty only surrendered 59 hits over 85 2/3 innings while striking out 102 across 16 starts (17 appearances)
- Ton of travel early
- Looks like 60% of their game are away
- Facing off against ECU, Louisville and Arkansas to start the year is an absolute GAUNTLET
@XavierBASE wants all the smoke. You have to respect it.

🚨 TRANSFER ALERT
⚾️ Former Mississippi St. pitcher @Jacob_Pruitt_30 is taking his talents to @MizzouBaseball
⚾️ Pruitt spent two years at Indiana State throwing 63 innings across 27 appearances (6 starts)
⚾️ In 2025, Pruitt worked 18 2/3 innings for Mississippi State striking out 23.
⚾️ Pruitt will be joining a revamped pitching staff that struggled with a 9.19 team ERA giving up 458 ER in 448 1/3 innings
➡️ Pruitt will be a big part of the staff in 2026.
TRANSFER ALERT:
Rice Owls raid the Volunteers and pick up their second pitcher from the Tennessee Volunteers in 2025.
P Tanner Wiggins joins a Rice baseball staff that took a step backwards in 2025.
@TWiggins_18 spent 2024 with the Volunteers appearing in 4 games striking out 33% of the batters he faced.
@RiceBaseball staff struggled last year in most meaningful stats but they've focused on this weakness in the portal.
Along with Wiggins, Rice also picked up 6'4'' Wichita State transfer pitcher Jeremiah Arnett (23 G, 6 GS in 2025), Tennessee transfer Brayden Sharp (11 games in last two years), and TCU transfer Jax Traeger (13 games in 3 years at TCU) - solidifying their pitching staff going into 2026 with more experience than they've had in quite awhile.
This might seem like a lot but according to @64Analytics the Volunteers are losing 27 players to the portal.
Thus, they must have a robust transfer class to make up for the crazy amount of players who have entered the portal.
Tennessee baseball's transfer class as of July 10:
RHP Clay Edmondson
RHP Mason Estrada
RHP Bo Rhudy
RHP Brady Frederick
C/OF Garrett Wright
1B/OF Henry Ford
RHP/OF DJ Newman
LHP/OF Blaine Brown
RHP Landon Mack
LHP Evan Blanco
LHP Mark Hindy
