I HOPE Hyatt sees this

Social media culture is so dumb. Kind of unfair for Hyatt. What if he doesn’t like kids? Guys just wants to play football. Leave ‘em alone.

It (social media in general) is dumb, but I think Hyatt enjoys the appreciation.

We need Paul Harvey.

oh get out of here with that. I don’t think anybody is bothered by a kid looking up to them, if anything Hyatt is probably enjoying it just as much.

I see both sides of the argument, I am glad that Hyatt is going to make this kids day special but had he not then everyone on here would have been calling him a POS. I think the posters argument was theres probably thousands of these done every day at athletes and they shouldn't be obligated just because of a Facebook post, which is true.

And that is the character of Hyatt. What an awesome player and even better young man!

Be careful about that, Daddy, we got folks on VN who insist Hyatt is a quitter who quit on his team by not playing in the orange Bowl. So by default is a bad guy. Stuff like this video is why I don't let players' personal decisions such as Hyatt's poison my perception of players. We don't know them personally, yet presume to judge them by petty, self-centered criteria. Often what we think we know is in blatant error. All for failure to be able to walk in their shoes. I'm so glad for this kid, and salute his folks for being tuned to his heart's desire. And according to some posts, Hyatt and fam have/are adding to a memory that will stay with this kid a lifetime. And who knows how far this will lead when he matures, marries, have kids of his own, and pass along his dad's father-character to them? Vols Forever!

Great post and follow-up.

Are we not gonna talk about Bobby’s twitter handle name? lol

Maybe this illustrates another good reason for "if you can't say anything good about someone, don't say anything." The things we say negatively inevitably diminish or distract from the positive things we want (and need) to communicate.

Hopefully by Friday midnight he will have been inspired to change his handle.

Hope so. Milton has some major talent if used correctly

Then, Raylan received another Christmas surprise. He got to talk to Jalin Hyatt through FaceTime. Raylan wanted to meet Jalin Hyatt in person at UT’s home football game against Missouri. Unfortunately he didn’t get that chance, but he soon will.

Raylan said he was “surprised, shocked, really shocked and also really excited.” “My heart was like beating really really so fast,” Raylan said. “Like I was really really surprised that I got to actually speak to him.” During that call, Raylan was invited to a UT Football camp on a full scholarship. “I want to throw him a touchdown pass real real bad and I want to have fun with him and play football, like run the ball to each other,” said Raylan.
