On Monday, former Stanford shortstop Temo Becerra announced that he is transferring to Texas, via the NCAA Transfer Portal. Becerra spent four seasons at Stanford but redshirted his true freshman season.

Becerra appeared in all 52 games for the Cardinal this past season, and made 51 starts. He posted a .330 average, with 27 runs scored, 11 doubles, two triples, one home run and 37 RBIs. He had a .384 on-base percentage and a .427 slugging percentage.

Becerra recorded a hit in each of his first four games of the season to close a 14-game hitting streak that originated during the 2024 season. In total, Becerra amassed 134 appearances during his time at Stanford.

Becerra played high school baseball at Buchanan High School (CA), where he was the No. 112 overall player and No. 27 shortstop from California in the 2021 recruiting cycle, according to Perfect Game. In his senior year, Becerra hit .393 with 33 RBIs and six home runs to earn all-state first-team honors.

Texas is coming off a standout season, in which the Longhorns finished with a 44-14 overall record and 22-8 mark in conference play. Texas won the regular-season conference title but ultimately was bounced from the NCAA Tournament in the Austin Regional.

This season was head coach Jim Schlossnagle‘s first at the helm of the program. He came to Texas from Texas A&M last offseason. Although the Longhorns’ 2025 season didn’t have the storybook ending Schlossnagle was hoping for, he was still proud of his team’s efforts this year.

“I was proud. Proud of the way our guys competed, pretty banged up, which every team is,” Schlossnagle said. “But, really proud of our team…no disrespect to the teams in the past, but this is the first team at Texas that’s ever had to play through the SEC.

“To be the SEC champion and to host a regional, we all understand Omaha is where we all want to end up… But when you go 44-14 in our league it doesn’t make it a bad season, just not the right ending.”

Texas last appeared in the College World Series in 2022 and last won the national title in 2005. With Schlossnagle leading the way and fresh faces like Temo Becerra on the roster, the Longhorns will look to win it all in 2026.
