TCU transfer OF Logan Maxwell commits to Arkansas out of the portal
TCU baseball outfielder Logan Maxwell has found a new home after entering the transfer portal this offseason, announcing his commitment to Arkansas.
Maxwell batted north of .300 over the last two seasons, including a .335 mark in 2024. He’s not much of a slugger with just three home runs on the year, but his .447% on-base percentage makes him a reliable hitting presence.
Now, he’ll head to the SEC to join up with one of the best teams in the country from 2023. Logan Maxwell is also a rising senior who spent three years in Fort Worth. So he’ll have just one more year of eligibility in Fayetteville.
For Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn, this is just one of many moves coming this offseason.
Dave Van Horn warns of roster overhaul
By Dan Morrison
The 2024 season came to an early end for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Now, head coach Dave Van Horn is preparing for a massive roster overhaul going into next season.
Van Horn explained that Arkansas isn’t going to need to make any difficult roster moves. All of those are being made for the team already with the amount of players who he expects to leave the program for one reason or another.

“Well, I don’t think there’s a lot of decisions we have to make this offseason,” Dave Van Horn said. “We’re gonna lose almost all of our players again for the third year in a row. Really, since ’21 we’ve had to almost start over.”
Roster turnover comes in many forms in modern college baseball. Players can leave through the Transfer Portal with relative ease. On top of that, there are still the old ways teams would lose players, like the MLB Draft and graduation.
“You have a couple of freshmen and maybe one or two sophomores that have shown some stuff. But we’ve lost our complete outfield again. They’ll all be gone. We’re gonna lose the second baseman. I don’t think the first baseman will be back. Starting catcher is gone. Starting third baseman graduates. Your whole rotation will probably go if they get an opportunity. I mean, I could go on and on. I think about it every day. It’s just the way it is these days. We’ve got kids coming in.”
Now, they have a real star coming in too in Logan Maxwell.
