📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Dreams Become Reality. It was a dream that they’ve had since they were old enough to hold a baseball.

On Monday, that dream became reality for four of our own.

Just a few hours later, a fourth Trojan became a pro when Adam Falinski signed a free agent deal with the Twins.

🔼 Going Global. The Troy baseball program wasn’t the only team celebrating their own reaching the professional ranks this week.

After helping the Trojans women’s basketball team to a runner-up finish in the 2025 WNIT Tournament, Brianna Jackson inked a professional deal with the Verstärkt den sytainics MBC team in Germany.

The Verstärkt den sytainics MBC team is based in Bundesliga, Germany, as a member of the European North Basketball League. They have players from America, Germany, and Austria.

A 6-3 forward, Jackson started in 29 games for the Trojans (38 appearances) for 9.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.8 blocks.

Season tickets start at $75 for all six home games at The Vet. This year’s schedule features all six home games on Saturdays and marquee match-ups against Memphis, South Alabama and more. Purchase your season tickets now by visiting www.TroyTrojans.com/Tickets or call the Troy Athletics Ticket Office at (334) 670-3681.
