COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Texas A&M softball head coach Jo Evans has announced the addition of transfer pitcher/outfielder Makinzy Herzog.

Herzog, a sophomore from Missouri City, Texas, is eligible to compete immediately for the Aggies and has three years of eligibility remaining.

Her performance in 2019 earned her a spot on the All-ACC Freshman Team as well as the NFCA Southeast All-Region Second Team.


Eligibility ?

How is a sophomore transfer "eligible to compete immediately" having just played her freshman year in 2019?

There were new transfer rules introduced a year ago. Probably has something to do with that- it made transferring super easy and is one of the reasons why many girls transferred out (and in).

Could be although I thought transfer rules had tightened.

Softball has different transfer rules... there is no required sit out year.

Glad someone else was confused. I asked the question a couple weeks ago and was told she was eligible - I still didnt understand why.

I didnt know that transfer rules were sport specific - thought it was NCAA wide.

If a non-graduate player transfers in baseball, men's or women's basketball, football (Football Bowl Subdivision) or men's ice hockey they have to sit out a season.

Thanks, Scott and Ags06win ... I had just come back to update my question to ... why does the new women's basketball transfer have to sit out but not the softball transfer.

The only thing consistent about ncaa transfer rules is inconsistency???

I think the transfer rules for all non- revenue sports permit immediate eligibility.

I'd actually like to see the transfer rules for softball tighten up a bit. I like the graduate transfer rule but it's too easy for undergrads to transfer and I actually think it teaches the wrong lessons to young adults. Just my opinion.

But their scholarship is on a year to year basis.

Sure. Scholarship reform is another, separate, issue that also needs addressing.

Scholarships are 4 years. Can't be taken away or reduced for performance. That is option for all schools but a requirement for all power schools
