Coach Rich Wallace bets on untapped potential as the Knights secure Cade Brown. Follow every roster move and incoming transfer during this pivotal offseason for UCF baseball.
The UCF Knights landed Georgia Tech transfer utility player Cade Brown, and he could become a sneaky pickup for coach Rich Wallace.
Brown played at Georgia Tech last season and at Georgia to start his college career. He made 27 appearances between the two programs (16 at Georgia and 11 at Georgia Tech).
His production is limited, but looking back at Brown's high school performance, there could be untapped potential. Brown slashed .413/.530/.782 with 30 home runs across 129 games for Parkview High School.
The transfer portal will remain open until June 30, and the transfer portal tracker will monitor every player departure or addition. Each updated entry is in chronological order from newest to oldest, and outgoing transfers who commit to another program will appear at the top of the list with their updated information.
