TEXAS A&M SHORTSTOP ALI CAMARILLO WITHDRAWS FROM NCAA TRANSFER PORTAL AFTER NEWS OF MICHAEL EARLEY HIRE

Texas A&M shortstop Ali Camarillo has withdrawn from the NCAA transfer portal, according to On3’s Pete Nakos. The move comes shortly after it was announced that Michael Earley is expected to be the program’s next head coach.

Camarillo entered the portal along with several teammates shortly after former Aggies coach Jim Schlossnagle left the program to become headman at Texas.

During his first season with Texas A&M, Camarillo appeared in and started all 68 games for the Aggies during the 2024 season, one of three players on Schlossnagle’s squad to do so. Camarillo logged 72 hits — 21 of which went for extra bases — to go with 36 RBIs while batting .288 for the Aggies to go with seven home runs with 50 total runs to his credit.

Camarillo came to Texas A&M after spending two seasons at California State University, Northridge, in Los Angeles.

While making a name for himself at CSUN, Camarillo ranked second in the Big West in batting average (.371) and fourth in slugging (.611) while knocking in 44 runs on 65 total hits. That means 68 percent of the time Camarillo logged a hit, it scored a run. For his efforts he was named to the All-Big West First Team before entering the NCAA transfer portal.

During his freshman season in 2022, he missed 23 games after sustaining an injury mid-season. Before missing a healthy chunk of the season, Camarillo made 29 starts at shortstop including the first 15 games of the season. He totaled 30 hits, 21 runs, 14 RBIs, seven walks and a home run during his limited time on the field.
