This summer, Tennessee coaching legend and College Football Hall of Famer Johnny Majors passed away at the age of 85.

Now, ESPNU is honoring him on the 1-month anniversary of his death with an hour-long documentary.

Per a release from Tennessee, former Vol players and coaches participated in the project, which will air on Friday, July 3:

“Johnny Majors: Straight Ahead,” an hour-long documentary celebrating the life and legacy of the late Tennessee legend and College Football Hall of Famer, will debut at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, July 3 on ESPNU and then re-air at noon ET on Sunday, July 5 on WVLT-TV Channel 8 in Knoxville.

Back in 2012, Tennessee retired No. 45 in honor of Majors. He went 116-62-6 as the Vols’ head coach and won 3 SEC titles.
