Texas A&M catcher Jacob Galloway enters NCAA Transfer Portal

Texas A&M catcher Jacob Galloway has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. Galloway transferred to Texas A&M from USC last offseason.

In his lone campaign in College Station, Galloway made 20 appearances and 14 starts. He finished the year with a .220 batting average, .286 on-base percentage, one home run and seven RBI’s.

In the field, Galloway recorded 134 putouts and only committed one error for a .993 fielding percentage. Before joining the Aggies, Galloway spent two seasons at USC. He amassed 82 appearances and 76 starts for the Trojans.

In his sophomore season at USC, Galloway logged a .286/.386/.451 slash line. Additionally, the 5-foot-9 standout recorded six homers, 17 doubles and 40 RBI’s. For his efforts, he was named an All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention selection.

Jacob Galloway played high school baseball at Harvard Westlake (CA). He was the No. 500 overall recruit and No. 69 catcher in the 2022 recruiting cycle, according to Perfect Game.

Texas A&M posted a 30-26 overall record this season and an 11-19 mark in conference play. In turn, the Aggies missed the NCAA Tournament just one year after reaching the College World Series finals.

This season was Earley’s first as Texas A&M’s head coach. He took over after Jim Schlossnagle left the program to become Texas‘ head coach last offseason. After retaining several key players and securing a few key additions in the transfer portal, Texas A&M entered the 2025 season as the No. 1 team in the country.

Alas, the Aggies underperformed and rumors began to swirl about Earley’s future at the helm of the program. On Friday, Texas A&M athletics director Trev Alberts emphasized that the school is standing behind Earley in spite of his tumultuous debut campaign as head coach.

“Earlier today I met with Coach Earley to discuss the state of our baseball program,” Alberts said in a statement. “I appreciate Mike’s work in taking a holistic view of what changes need to be made so that we have a baseball program that meets our high standards. Baseball success is critically important to Texas A&M. I am confident in Mike’s ability to execute the needed change and fully support his vision going forward.”

Alberts previously confirmed he had some conversations with Michael Earley following Texas A&M’s season-ending loss to LSU in the SEC tournament. Speaking with reporters this past week at the SEC spring meetings, Alberts said a “recap” meeting was in the works once he returned from Destin.
