After a nice two-year stint with the Kansas Jayhawks, former LSU baseball infielder [autotag]Collier Cranford[/autotag] is back in the transfer portal again, according to On3’s Pete Nakos.
Cranford impressed as a true freshman with the Tigers back in 2020, batting .286 before the season was canceled due to COVID-19, but his average dropped precipitously over the next two seasons as he batted below .150 in both campaigns.
He opted to transfer to Kansas after 2022, where he got things back on track. He batted .251 in 2023 and .274 in 2024, totaling 15 doubles, five home runs and 45 RBI this past season as he took 215 at-bats in 54 total games.
Cranford’s stock wasn’t particularly high when he left LSU, but now, he could find himself as one of the top transfers on the market as he enters his sixth and final season of eligibility.
Update: While On3 reported that Cranford entered the transfer portal, he directly refuted that and said he has no remaining eligibility.
This is news to me considering I have no more eligibilityđ https://t.co/cMlm6VjMKj
