VFL Al Wilson honored at Tennessee-South Carolina game.

2021 College Football Hall of Fame linebacker Al Wilson was honored during halftime of Tennessee’s game against South Carolina Saturday.

Wilson played for the Vols between 1995-98. He helped guide Tennessee to the 1998 BCS national championship.

Wilson totaled 272 tackles, 27 tackles for a loss, 11 sacks, eight forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, 10 pass breakups and two interceptions in 42 games at Tennessee.

He will be the 25th UT player enshrined into the hall. That leads the Southeastern Conference and the Vols rank sixth nationally.

Wilson and the rest of the 2021 class will be inducted along with the class of 2020. The 2020 induction ceremony was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
