KNOXVILLE — The University of Tennessee has a football program rich in history and tradition, and over the years many great players have played on Rocky Top.

No. 34
The number goes back to 1937 in Tennessee football history and it was first donned by William McCarren.

It was later worn by running backs James Berry (1979-81), Reggie Cobb (1988-89), Travis Stephens (1999-2001) and linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin, who plays for the Detroit Lions.
