Texas A&M junior will transfer to Oregon for her senior season
A few weeks after entering the college softball transfer portal, Texas A&M utility player Amari Harper is heading back to the west coast to finish her senior season with the Oregon Ducks. Her decision came as a surprise to Aggie fans, especially following the strong season the team had and Coach Trisha Ford's comments naming Harper as a key piece for the 2026 squad. Advertisement Despite breaking a finger and wearing a splint all season, Harper battled her way back into the lineup and consistently delivered timely hits. Her versatility in both the infield and outfield gave Coach Ford the flexibility to adjust the lineup when the offense began to struggle. The move to Oregon makes sense for Harper, a California native, as it allows her to play for a competitive team closer to home, where friends and family can easily attend games. She leaves Texas A&M with an impressive career slash line of .364/.471/.512, along with nine home runs and 85 RBI. Check out her official announcement on X below.

Texas A&M Faces Setback as star Utility player enters the transfer portal
Texas A&M Faces Setback as star Utility player enters the transfer portal The transfer portal has struck the Texas A&M softball team once again. This time, however, it involves a major contributor expected to play a key leadership role. On Friday afternoon, in a shocking announcement, starting utility player Amari Harper entered her name into the softball transfer portal. The junior was a key contributor all season, routinely delivering clutch hits and showing emerging power by knocking out crucial home runs. While the Aggies have a deep roster and should be able to fill the void, Harper's departure is still a significant loss, especially if head coach Trisha Ford can't find a way to bring her back next season. Every athlete has their reasons for entering the portal, and even though this move is surprising, players must do what they believe is best for their future. Entering the portal doesn't necessarily mean Harper is leaving, but in today's NIL landscape, anything is possible.
