As a freshman, Brookins made seven pinch-hit appearances for the Gators, drawing one walk. In 2025, he played four games, including two starts at designated hitter, ending the season 3-for-10 with a .300\/.364\/.500 slash line. He doubled twice, scored twice and stole one base.<\/p>\n
Brookins did not make an appearance in the 2026 season at Florida, allowing him to redshirt and leave Gainesville with two years of eligibility. His 6-foot-5-inch, 230-pound frame is built for power. As an upperclassman, Brookins is seeking more playing time, likely at the mid-major level.<\/p>\n
