KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — Less than one day after their final regular season game at Neyland Stadium, a total of 15 Tennessee football student-athletes celebrated their academic accomplishments with a commencement ceremony. |
Due to the Volunteers’ away game at Auburn on Nov. 21, members of the football team were unable to participate in the scheduled on-campus graduations for their respective programs. |
As families cheered during the socially-distant celebration, the Vols walked across the stage filled with pride for completing one part of their mission as student-athletes. |
