Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers have landed a commitment from Oregon State infielder Trent Caraway, he revealed via social media on Tuesday.

The coveted transfer launched double-digit homers in 2025 while tallying 15 doubles on his way to accumulating 47 RBI for the Beavers.

Caraway was exceptional for Oregon State in the Corvallis Regional where he took home Most Outstanding Player while making the All-Regional Team.

After two seasons with the Beavers program, Caraway made the move to depart and enter the NCAA Transfer Portal with the LSU Tigers scooping him up following the 2025 MLB Draft.
