Brayden Simpson enters transfer portal following court ruling on eligibility

Brayden Simpson, a former LSU baseball infielder, has announced plans to enter the transfer portal on August 2, 2026. This decision follows a recent court ruling that provides additional eligibility for athletes who commenced their college careers in 2022 and played for four years. The NCAA is expected to appeal this ruling, which places Simpson in a challenging position, as LSU's 2027 roster appears to be full. Simpson played one season with LSU after transferring from High Point, contributing 13 hits and 10 runs over the season.
