NEW YORK, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brag House Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TBH) (“Brag House” or the “Company”), the premier Gen Z engagement platform that operates at the intersection of gaming, college sports, and social interaction, today announced the launch of the ‘Brag Gators Gauntlet’ Series – Baseball Edition, a high-impact, single-day tournament Featuring Fortnite hosted in collaboration with Florida Gators Athletics and Learfield’s Florida Gators Sports Properties.

This landmark activation is the first in a nationwide rollout stemming from Brag House’s strategic partnership roadmap that was announced on April 28, 2025, and reaffirmed in the Company's recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The Brag Gators Gauntlet is designed to fuse the passion of college sports, starting with college baseball, and the cultural power of gaming, in a way that only Brag House can deliver – by bringing students, alumni, and brands together in real time through interactive and gamified experiences.

“This isn’t just a tournament – it’s a gamified digital tailgate, a new way for Gen Z to rally around their school,” said Lavell Juan Malloy II, CEO and Co-Founder of Brag House. “With Learfield and Florida Gators Athletics, we’re redefining what it means to be a fan – empowering students and alumni to play, brag, and win as an essential part of the college sports experience.”
