Michael Senay emerged as USF’s freshman ace before entering the transfer portal
In the 2026 season, Senay became South Florida’s most-used starter and one of its most reliable arms, posting a 3.78 ERA over 81.0 innings with 55 strikeouts, only 17 walks, and a conference-best WHIP. What makes him pop beyond the box score is the poise: he handled Saturday-starter pressure, stacked multiple scoreless outings, and drew back-to-back American Conference Pitcher of the Week honors after dominating Rice and Columbia. He looks like a polished, strike-throwing righty who competes deep into games, though he is now in the transfer portal and headed to Alabama.
