Shoutout for a Walk-On

[WoodsmanVol]

Several sort of bemoaned Davis's play vs. OU. His coach is very appreciative of him. Bless our walk-ons, you never know when they are the difference between victory and defeat.

They are very much appreciated by those who practice with/against them.VFL's for sure!

Just told someone the other day that was bashing him that we would’ve been screwed without his play. He does the best with the skills God gave him and I for one am VERY proud to call him a vol. He was going in against one of the best D-lines in the country.

Dayne is really tough kid and has played a key role in a lot of games. As the article says he is the safety valve for any position of need. As a coach, having a player reliable like that makes your life so much easier.

Someone who will always treasure his time as a Vol with the utmost appreciation, I would assume more so than someone who was a highly recruited prospect. Hard work pays off, handsomely in this case. Forever a Vol. GBO.

Davis is no Lance Heard but if we hadnt had him to step up and give his best, OK could have been different

Glad he's not as fragile as some on this board. I dig an underdog and fighter.

Dayne was a preferred walk off in 2020 and was placed on scholarship in December 2020 without playing a single down. Not sure I think of him as a walk on but I certainly appreciate his effort. I will give my all for Tennessee today

We’ve needed Will Brooks, as well.

We have some Rhode Scholars on here
We have some that probably didn’t go to school at all
We have some that played
We have some that didn’t play
We have some that think they played
We have some that can’t hold their liquor
We have some that their mamma still makes their bed
We have some that’s old and in the way
We have some that bleed orange
We have some that bleed everything but orange

But I doubt we have any like Dayne
