Florida State baseball is set to be active in the NCAA transfer portal as head coach Link Jarrett aims to retool his roster with hopes of another deep postseason run in 2026.
The Seminoles went 42-16 and lost in the Super Regional rounds to Oregon State after winning the Tallahassee regional with a sweep. In Jarrett’s third season, FSU were led by stars Jamie Arnold, Alex Lodise and Max Willlimas, but of the three, none are expected back on campus come 2026.
With that comes the need to replace production to find ways to compete in the ever-changing landscape of collegiate athletics. FSU has already been active with a number of departures and a handful of incoming in the transfer portal.
The NCAA transfer portal will be open for players until July 1.
FSU baseball has already landed a pair of transfers
The Seminoles’ season has been over for less than a week, but the program has already brought in a pair of transfers in Davidson infielder Eli Putnam and FAU pitcher Trey Beard.
Beard spent two seasons at Florida Atlantic University, starting in 30 of his 32 appearances for the Owls. He posted a 7-1 record in his sophomore season with a 3.14 ERA and 118 strikeouts in 86 innings of work.
Putnam is a versatile infielder who can play any of the four positions, and he’s a strong bat. He hit .349 in his final season at Davidson with 19 home runs and 62 RBI on 84 hits.
