Peyton Manning is set to return to his alma mater for a little pregame fun ahead of No. 8 Tennessee’s clash with No. 1 Alabama.
The NFL Hall of Famer and Vols legend is set to join the crew of ESPN’s College Gameday on Saturday for the first time as the guest picker, the popular pregame show announced Thursday.
A proud alum with deep-rooted ties to the university, Manning forged a lasting legacy during his four years at Tennessee from 1994 to 1997. The legendary quarterback led the Vols to the SEC title to cap his stellar senior season, a year that saw him finish as the runner-up to the Heisman Trophy after earning numerous national awards.
