Brody Trosclair has committed to Tennessee baseball as a transfer from Northwestern State, he announced on Instagram on Monday.

Trosclair was on Tennessee’s campus for an official visit on Sunday. Trosclair took visits to Tennessee, Auburn, Arkansas, Florida and LSU. Ole Miss was also in the picture before he committed to the Vols and coach Josh Elander.

Trosclair shined as a freshman at Northwestern State with a 5-1 record and a 1.89 ERA in 10 appearances with four starts. The southpaw logged 38 innings of work, struck out 55 and walked 11. Opponents tallied a .222 batting average against him. The freshman allowed just eight extra base hits in 2026.

Trosclair was named the 2026 Southland Conference Freshman of the Year and First-Team All-Southland Conference Pitcher. The pitcher was unscored upon in his first five relief appearances and did not allow an earned run in 13.2 innings of relief work.

He suffered a season-ending injury in April. He is not eligible for the MLB Draft until 2028.

Trosclair becomes the second transfer portal commit of the cycle for the Vols, joining Mercer two-way player Braydon Kersey.

Trosclair is one of the top-ranked players in the portal. The transfer portal officially opened on June 1 and Trosclair announced his intentions to enter on the first day.

More than 90% of employees participated in the survey. The results showed that 88% believe their teams work well together, 88% are satisfied with their jobs, and 83% feel they are part of something meaningful. Those numbers matter because communities are strongest when the people serving them care about the work they do. When teams work well together, projects move forward. When employees find purpose in their jobs, they look for solutions. When people believe their work matters, residents often experience better service, stronger connections, and a community that continues moving forward while holding on to what makes it special.

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”

“Having a great positive workplace culture is one of our highest priorities of our City leadership team,” said Eric Stuckey. “Our employees are the most valuable assets we have in the city and their exceptional service to the community is well appreciated by our community. I am genuinely proud to lead a team of this caliber that delivers for the citizens of Franklin every day. We have some of the finest public servants in the nation”
