Not exactly ON the show.

Athleticism runs in the family: his dad is a former Tennessee Vol. He traveled to Venice Beach to cheer on his son.

Very cool. I've watched that show from time to time. It'll be much more fun now that I have somebody to pull for.

Heard Dooley is trying our for role as Krusty the Crab in Broadway version of Spongebob - the Musical. Proud day all around for Vol fans!

Ron Mc was a stellar Vol DE I think.
