Catcher Michael Smosna, who according to a source entered the transfer portal on December 4, 2025, has committed to the University of Central Missouri, he announced on Instagram.
“I’m excited to announce my commitment to the University of Central Missouri. Thank you to coach Crookes and staff for the belief and the opportunity. I will always continue to trust God and the plan I know he has for me.”
