Texas A&M lands former Cal State Northridge infielder Ali Camarillo Jr.
Ahead of Texas A&M’s first-round matchup against Cal State Fullerton within the Stanford Regional in the 2023 NCAA Tournament on Friday night, massive transfer portal news made its way to head coach Jim Schlossnagle just hours before the game, as former Cal State Northridge standout infielder/shortstop Ali Camarillo will make his way to College Station this Fall to play for the Aggies in 2024.
In two seasons at CSUN, Camrillo broke out during his 2023 sophomore season, completing the campaign with a .371 batting average, seven home runs, and 44 RBI, netting a career average of .332 hitting, slugging .493 and a .398 OB%.

The core starters in A&M’s infield are expected to return outside senior Austin Bost. Still, as we’ve seen year by year, assumptions on how the roster will shape out are made up of guesses, so either way, Camrillo’s addition is impactful from a depth and possible starter perspective.
Congratulations, Ali! And as you’ll say a lot next season, Gig ‘Em!
