Elliott’s mask choice may start a trend as other SEC fanbases don’t want to be left out.

We’ve got to get @BubbaWallace a @Vol_Sports facemask. @chaseelliott had a GA Bulldogs.

We’ve now had Elliott and Stone Cold Steve Austin represent their favorite SEC teams while sporting protective face covers. Who will be next?
