Nic Abraham Transfer from Tennessee
Sorry to spam the forum lately, but the news keeps rolling in.
Josh Reynolds, our new Director of Pitching Performance/Data Analytics who came from Tennessee, appears to have brought a pitcher with him from Ole Rocky Top. Nic Abraham (RHP) will join the Hokies as a Junior next season. A solid bullpen arm and midweek starter for the Vols in '26 (4.15 ERA). He doesn't rack up whiffs, but he has an extremely low walk rate (4%) and also doesn't give up a lot of hits (.242 batting Avg against). He should be a welcome arm in the pen that has lost a few good players to the portal and draft/graduation. However, I think he may have a good shot at becoming the Sunday starter. He had originally committed to staying at Tennessee earlier in the summer, so I Imagine Reynolds and co. had to offer him a nice package to get him to move east. That may have included promises regarding a starting role. It's an exciting get and he pairs nicely with Hankins as the second Vol to transfer in this summer.

On paper this is a very good pitching portal class. You never know how guys will adapt at a higher level but a few of these guys are highly likely to do fine, and of course Abraham has been solid in SEC.
