The generosity and love shown by all involved makes me that much happier to be a part of such a great fanbase. I hope the kid is having the time of his life.

Can't wait to get my shirt.

 

[cbatey1]

That is truly something special. Hope that kid excels in life!

 

[SolidRockGolf]

That is a great story to see! Just made my day.

 

[Orange defense]

That’s what the Tennessee, vol fans, and showing their love will do to rally for something like this. This is what we do!

Can't wait to get my shirt.

Me too. Going to wear it with pride! And, I'll be one of the only ones around wearing the shirt, but everyone will know about it, because it made national news!

 

[XknoxvolsX]

In a world of passionate sports that sometimes brings forth hate, this is the perfect good feel story!

Congrats young fella. Keep those grades up

Now's the time we should hire a personal trainer to start working with him on what ever position he fits best at!

All jokes aside that is awesome for the kid. I hope someone remembers to follow up on this in 2032 and give an update.

 

[GlockVol]

Our future AD right there

 

[McDad]

Love this story. The University and Volunteers everywhere knocked it out of the park.

 

[Elhanan]

I hope some how this kid turns into an all American football start by then.

The University of Tennessee SUCKS on the football field...

Undisputed CHAMPIONS in Humanitarianism!

GREAT Story and my shirt is on the way...

 

[MyVolsDropped]

Love our people. Love our fans.

Bench JG and fill the stands!

 

[BSOVOL1967]

Looking forward to getting my shirt, and congrats to UT for really coming through for this young Vols fan. GBO!

It is really nice to see something positive surrounding UT athletics.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

This is a TOTALLY different situation so I don't mean in ANY way to compare this story to cancer but this kinda reminds me a little of the Tyler Trent situation at Purdue. Again, NOT trying to compare making a t-shirt to cancer but how a university and the fan base has rallied around this young child. Wish it could inspire our team!

 

[HooahVol]

Great story and I am excited he got a scholarship offer. Can he, by any chance, throw a football? Asking for a friend.

 

[Chitlin&theDude]

It's great when our Public Relations dept. actually handles something well. (As rare as it's been.)

 

[Pineyvol]

They were just talking about this on 99.7 out of Nashville.....good job folks!!!

Does the boy and his parents not want to give their names and show their faces?
Has Florida media shown him but not Tennessee media?

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

That's awesome!!

Would seem to be a natural story for ESPN Gameday.

Haven't seen a Father mentioned but might have missed it.
