Sophomore Blaine Brown made his debut with No. 15 Tennessee (3-0) during a three-game series against Nicholls (0-3) at Lindsey Nelson Stadium .
The 6-foot-5, 200-pound transfer from Rice started in left field for the Vols. In three games, he went 8-for-14 in Tennessee's series sweep and recorded a .571 batting average, .600 on-base percentage, three home runs, one double, five RBIs, seven runs, one walk, 18 total bases and one strikeout.

"Just the count, swings I've took in the cage, coming in early, hitting BP with Chuck (Jeroloman), and (Josh) Elander's been a really big help," Brown said after his first series playing for Tennessee.
Brown led Rice in batting average (.292), slugging percentage (.493), hits (61), RBIs (38), doubles (12), home runs (10), total bases (103) and multi-hit games (18), while tying for the lead in multi-RBI games (eight) as a freshman in 2025.
He became the first freshman to lead Rice in batting average since 2009 and the eighth freshman for the Owls to hit 10-plus home runs.
