Former Texas A&M RHP will transfer to Louisiana at Lafayette

100 MPH Powerhouse Finds New Home in Louisiana

Texas A&M loses promising pitcher to Ragin' Cajuns.

College Station, TX - Kyrin LeBlanc, a highly touted right-handed pitcher known for his blazing fastball, has transferred from Texas A&M to the University of Louisiana Lafayette.

LeBlanc, who arrived at Texas A&M last season after transferring from Cisco College, will bring a potent weapon to the Ragin' Cajuns roster. Reports indicate he has reached speeds of 100 mph with his fastball during his career. "IM HOMEEEEEE🌶️🌶️🌶️ Let’s #geaux#Ragin' Cajuns Baseball," LeBlanc announced on X, confirming his move to Lafayette.

While his raw talent is undeniable, control has been a challenge for the young pitcher. If he can harness his power, LeBlanc's future in baseball appears bright. He will finally get the chance to see action on the mound in 2026 after being held back by Texas A&M's pitching depth chart.

"Pitchers of his caliber are rare," a source close to the program commented. "While plenty of former quarterbacks and high school pitchers can throw in the upper 90s, control is the key to playing in college, and, of course, the MLB."

Texas A&M's Pitching Landscape Shifts

LeBlanc's departure signals a significant shift in Texas A&M's pitching rotation for the 2026 season. Returning relievers Weston Moss and Shane Sdao are expected to take on starting roles, likely paired with one of the newly acquired transfer additions.

The transfer portal era has brought about unprecedented player movement, and LeBlanc's decision exemplifies this trend. The Aggies will look to rebuild their pitching staff as they enter the 2026 season.
