NASHVILLE, Tenn. – In a continuing effort to recognize the accomplishments of student-athletes beyond the field of competition, the Southeastern Conference has highlighted a Community Service Team for baseball for the 2024 season. The conference names a Community Service Team for each of its 21 league-sponsored sports, looking to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to his community through superior service efforts.
RJ Austin is Vanderbilt’s representative on the 2024 team. He works with organizations such as Special Olympics Tennessee to give back to the community while also excelling on the field. Earlier this season, Austin was named to the inaugural Lou Gehrig Community Impact Team which recognizes the giving character and community impact of collegiate baseball players.
