It’s a classy but not surprising move for Dobbs, who has garnered hefty praise for his character from Volunteers coach Butch Jones as his senior season comes to a close. He’s active in the communities of both Knoxville and his hometown of Alpharetta, Georgia.
Thanks to all of the 1st Responders helping the #EastTenn victims. Please keep the #Gatlinburg & #PigeonForge communities in your prayers.??
