Four-Star Center DeWayne Brown Talks Tennessee Official Visit | Rocky Top Insider
Tennessee basketball hosted four-star center DeWayne Brown II on an official visit last weekend for the Vols’ matchup against Vanderbilt.
The weekend trip was Brown’s first to Knoxville and he watched Tennessee open up a 31-point halftime lead over its instate rival before cruising to an 88-53 victory.
“It was good. It was fun,” Brown told RTI. “We did a lot of stuff. I got to hang out with the coaches a lot. It was all really just a good experience overall.”
The Hoover, Alabama native ranks as low four-star recruit and the No. 135 player in the class of 2025 according to the 247sports composite rankings. The 6-foot-9, 250-pound prospect ranks as the 22nd best center and the top player in the state of Alabama in his recruiting cycle.
Brown is a physical big man that excels on the defensive end and scoring with his face to the basket. He’s looking to add range to his offensive game, but Brown sees Tennessee’s play style as one that fits his abilities on the court.

“I feel like it’s a pretty good match with my game,” Brown said. “They like to play fast just like how I play in AAU and high school. And they play inside-out with Coach Barnes which I think is good.”
The Vols offered Brown in mid December joining a number of SEC teams. Tennessee assistant coach Gregg Polinsky is the lead recruiter on Brown and what the blue-chip recruit likes about the Vols’ veteran assistant coach is the same thing that he likes about Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes— their experience and honesty.
“He’s already got the experience because he’s been coaching for a very long time at multiple different levels,” Brown said of Polinsky. “It’s just good talking to him and knowing that I can trust him and he not be lying to me.”
“Coach Barnes is cool. He’s kind of the same like Coach Polinsky,” Brown said. “He keeps everything real with you. He’s just going to tell you how it is.”
Brown plays his prep basketball at Hoover High School. Behind Brown, the Bucs are one of the best teams in the state of Alabama where they boast a 28-3 record ahead of the postseason. Brown also ranks as the top player in the state of Alabama in the 2025 cycle.
The blue-chip recruit as taken visits to Alabama, Auburn, LSU and Mississippi State so far throughout his recruitment. Brown is currently focused on finishing out his junior prep season strong but is looking to commit sometime this spring.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WCYB) — The Washington County, Tennessee Isaiah 117 House hosted a fundraiser event Tuesday to help support area children who are entering the foster care system.
The event took at Boones Creek Christian Church where organizers hope to raise around $20,000 to go towards funds for the house and raise awareness for the organization.
The organization which began in the Tri-Cities now has more than 60 houses in 13 states.
The group helps care for children who are entering foster care while they are waiting on their foster placement.
“We feel like we have an obligation to continue to do this for the generations to come, for the children who haven’t been born yet,” Washington County Isaiah 1:17 House Support Coordinator Katie Wilt said. “We know they are going to need us. We wish they didn’t but we know that they are, so part of this luncheon is to fundraise to make sure that we are able to sustain the care and the hope for the children of the future.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Gov. Bill Lee and First Lady Maria Lee have wrapped up a yearlong, statewide America 250 tour that spotlighted Tennessee’s role in the nation’s history.
The tour, themed “Tennessee: The Original Frontier”, highlighted people, places and events tied to Tennessee’s contributions to America. Over the past year, Lee visited all 95 counties as part of the effort to commemorate the milestone with Tennesseans across the state.
Over the past year, Maria and I have traveled from Mountain City to Memphis, and we’ve been reminded that our state’s greatest strength is its people,” Lee said. “As America prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence, Tennesseans can take pride in the Volunteer Spirit carried forward in the individuals, communities, and stories that have helped shape our nation from the very beginning.
The tour concluded in Van Buren County at the same venue where Lee held his first gubernatorial campaign event in 2017, returning to the place where his statewide journey began.
