Dayne Davis discusses living the dream playing at Tennessee

Dayne Davis discusses ‘living the dream’ playing at Tennessee.

Tennessee concluded its fifth practice during fall training camp on Monday at Haslam Field.

Redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Dayne Davis met with media following Monday’s practice.

The 6-foot-7, 325-pound Davis said his time at Tennessee has been a blessing after growing up being a fan of the Vols.

“It’s just truly a blessing,” Davis said. “I’ve been really blessed. I was a fan once, obviously, so I’m just living the dream, absolutely. It’s been nothing but amazing.”

Davis came to Tennessee as walk-on and was placed on scholarship in Dec. 2020.

“I never would’ve come here if I didn’t know that I could play here,” Davis said. “I’ve always had that mentality, and I never got down on myself.

“I always knew it was in me, just had to get that out. I knew my work ethic could get me where I wanted to go.”
