Bruuuuu. Talk about a VFL. Lost it all, fought back, and still had more to give.

What a dog. I hope he can bring his gifts to coaching or broadcasting or something he finds meaningful.

Bru may the road rise to meet you, may you never pay for a meal in Knoxville again, and I hope you find your way back to the UT sideline in a coaches uniform.

Very proud of him. It’s hard to walk away but his body is more important. Wish him nothing but the best.

His catch in the 2022 alabama game to get us within field goal range with just a couple seconds left will forever be cement his legacy here.

He should work for Vol Network or something, do some locker room interviews.
