2025 four-star tight end Da'Saahn Brame, a Tennessee Vols signee, was named by Rivals.com as a top performer at day one of Polynesian Bowl practices. 

Brame, 6-foot-6/235 lbs from Derby, KS, is rated in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 4 tight end in the nation and the No. 3 player in the state of Kansas. He's also rated as the No. 95 overall player in the 2025 recruiting class. 

From Rivals.com: Another safety net on offense for Team Makai on Monday was the big 6-foot-6 Tennessee signee from Kansas. It wasn’t about making the dazzling play for Brame on Day 1, but he managed to find soft spots in the defense with regularity to make the sure play in a lot of the team situations when he was being targeted.

He made a couple contested plays over the middle of the field and was useful in the flat as well, giving his quarterbacks a check-down option with regularity throughout the practice.

The note about Brame being able to find soft spots in the defense is particularly encouraging for Tennessee. Having a tight end who can find soft spots against a defense is almost like a cheat code in college football (that's actually something that Tennessee struggled to defend at times in 2024….specifically in their loss to Georgia). A tight end that knows how to get open and move the chains is a quarterback's best friend. 

Brame was committed to Oregon before flipping to Tennessee last summer.
