Senior left-handed pitcher Lael Lockhart Jr. announced on Saturday afternoon through his Twitter account that he was entering the grad transfer portal after four seasons with Houston.

“I never thought I would have the opportunity to look at grad transfer stuff, kind of life after baseball,” Lockhart told Fox 26 Houston.

“…It’s a tough call because (of) all of the guys and relationships I have (at UH).”

I’ve entered the transfer portal as a grad transfer. Looking forward to future schools and opportunities!

Lockhart, who joined Houston in 2017, started in four games for the Cougars in 2020 before the season was abruptly cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
