Texas outfielder Easton Winfield has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to On3’s Pete Nakos. He spent one season with the Longhorns in 2025, after playing for the University of Louisiana at Monroe in 2024.

He hit .250 at Texas, accumulating 13 hits, four doubles and a home run in 58 plate appearances. Wherever he ends up in 2026, Winfield will be hoping for more bites of the apple than he received with the Longhorns.

When the Alvin, Texas native joined the team, he was fulfilling a childhood dream of his. At least he got to suit up for the Longhorns for one season.

“It’s always been a dream of mine to come and stay in my home state and play baseball, and just the winning tradition of Texas has always been a huge thing my whole life, like I’ve always seen it growing up, and it was just an easy decision,” Winfield stated, regarding his transfer to Texas via Emma Hutchinson of Sports Illustrated. “I wanted to come here.”

Part of what endeared him to the Longhorns was when he would watch his aunt, Loryn Johnson, play softball for Texas: “My first memory was actually [when] my aunt played here, so I always came to watch her. And every time we’d be over there, my mom sometimes would come over here and take me to baseball games. And those are just memories I’ll never forget,” Winfield added. 

“… She just told me [that] the fans are amazing. She said that they’ll be there no matter if you’re playing a nobody or if you’re playing one of the best teams in the country. They always show out. And she just said that it’s just a different winning tradition. Like you don’t experience a winning tradition like you do here.” 

Wherever Easton Winfield ends up next, he’ll be hoping his statistics are more like his time with ULM. During the 2024 season, he led the Warhawks with a .332 batting average and 10 home runs, and he was also tied for most RBI with 40.
