Tennessee has awarded walk-on offensive lineman Dayne Davis a full scholarship.
Davis committed to Tennessee as a preferred walk-on in Feb. 2019. He has appeared in a limited number of games since arriving on campus.
The 6-foot-7, 315-pound sophomore is a native of Bluff City, Tennessee, and wears No. 66.

Davis spoke to Vols Wire after his commitment in 2019, with high praise for Tennessee’s coaching staff.
“This is the best staff I have talked to,” Davis said. “I was among the interest of several FCS schools, but by far Coach Pruitt, Coach Friend and Coach Stiff were the most welcoming coaches I had met and just absolutely made me feel at home.
“I am also ecstatic about the strength staff. Coach Fitz and his staff are the best around. Lastly, it has simply always been mine and my family’s dream for me to play at Tennessee.”
