#27 - Joey Kent
What did he do? All he did was score. Joey Kent! Touchdown on play number one.''
That play made Kent an icon, his consistency made him a legend. Kent arrived from Alabama in 1993 and began to etch his name in the UT record books. During is storied career, Kent had 15 career 100 yard games, 7 of them in '96 and 6 in '95. He holds the single game record with 13 reception vs Arkansas in 1995 and had 7 consecutive 100 yard games in 1996. He's also the only Vol in history to have consecutive 1,000 yard seasons. A favorite of Manning, Kent had 69 receptions for 1,055 yards and 9 TDs in 1995 and 68 receptions for 1,080 yards and 7 TDs in 1996. Kent was a 1st Team All-SEC receiver in '95 and '96 and left UT as it's all time leader in receptions (183), yards (2,814), and touchdowns (25). Plain and simple, Kent is an all-time great! He was a 2nd round pick by the Oilers/Titans in 1997 and played in the Super Bowl with Tennessee.
