The Tigers secured three commitments from right-handed pitchers.<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Jay Johnson made great use of football&#8217;s home opener weekend, giving recruits the true Baton Rouge experience. He made multiple posts on social media to signal additions to the roster.<\/p>\n<p>One of those additions was Hayden Morris, and he will make the most immediate impact as he transfers in from Blinn Junior College. Per the team&#8217;s website, he stands at six-foot-eight and 265 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>As a freshman in 2025, Morris made 19 appearances, including 14 starts. Through 86.1 innings, the right-hander posted a 4.17 ERA and 106 strikeouts. He set career highs with eight innings and 12 strikeouts in his first season of college baseball.<\/p>\n<p>Morris hails from Conroe, TX.
