Rizy (6-foot-9, 251 pounds) did not develop well in his second season with the Tigers in 2026 after showing some promise as a freshman in 2025 from Fiskdale, Massachusetts. Rizy (0.0, 4.22 ERA) was among the LSU leaders in wildness, which was a major issue this past season. He threw eight wild pitches and hit seven batters on the season. In 20 appearances through 21 and a third innings, he struck out 28 with 19 walks.
Word leaked out nearly a week the portal even opened that Rizy would enter it.
In 2025, Rizy was 0-0 with a 4.74 ERA with just two wild pitches and four hit batsmen over 24 and two-thirds innings in 24 appearances. He struck out 29 with 19 walks.
Ole Miss (41-23, 15-15 SEC) was just eliminated after two games in the College World Series on Sunday.
The Rebels are known for quality pitching under coach Mike Bianco, a former LSU catcher. The Rebels finished fourth in the SEC in 2026 in earned run average at 4.49 to LSU’s 15th at 5.72 – one of the Tigers worst ERAs in history. Ole Miss walked 222 batters on the season to 289 by LSU last season.
