"With all of the noise regarding the transfer portal, we are doubling down on finding high school guys who are a great fit at SDSU academically and on the field. We feel great about this group and what they bring to our program."

He posted an earned run average of 1.12 or less in all three seasons while racking up 225 strikeouts, including 87 his junior campaign.
