14 set to be recognized on Senior Day
Tennessee’s win last weekend was huge, with a victory over the Missouri Tigers to clinch a bowl berth for the first time in three seasons. The triumph sets the table for this coming Saturday which features the team’s Senior Day at the last game of the regular season.
Before the match against the Vanderbilt Commodores, 13 seniors and VFL Darrin Kirkland Jr. will be recognized for their contributions to the program over the course of their collegiate careers. Kirkland Jr. missed his opportunity to run through the T last year, so he is returning to Knoxville to get caught up on what he has earned. Head coach Jeremy Pruitt had the following to say.
“I am really proud of these guys and excited for them. It has been great to get to know them. Just being around them the last two years to really get to know who they are and how much pride that they have for the University of Tennessee and see them fight and finish something that they started just says a lot about them. These guys are going to have tons of success beyond the university. It is really just what college football is all about, how these guys represent the university.”
Game time is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET and can be watched on SECN.
