In his first season at Houston, Bourn earned Freshman All-America accolades and All-Conference honors while setting the program's freshman records in runs (55), stolen bases (35) and walks (50). The Nimitz High School product went on to earn back-to-back NCAA Regional All-Tournament honors (2002-03) highlighted by helping the No. 3-seed Cougars to an NCAA College Station Regional victory behind four straight victories, including two 7-6 wins against host Texas A&M. Bourn later went on to compete for USA Baseball.
