It hasn’t been a fall for much positive news from the Tennessee football program, but that changed recently when Todd Kelly Jr. and Kyle Phillips were honored with an induction into a national leadership honor society — Omicron Delta Kappa.
It’s the kind of honor previously given to such Tennessee legends as Pat Summit, Peyton Manning and Joshua Dobbs. The Tennessee athletics department on Thursday posted a video to YouTube of the players receiving the accomplishment.
“I’m very excited to be part of this society, Omicron Delta Kappa. To be with Kyle – one of my teammates, one of my classmates – is pretty awesome,” Kelly said. “We brought it up actually a day ago … So it’s kind of funny that we both are being inducted. Just to hear about the alumni that have come before us, it’s a great experience and we are excited to do whatever we can for the society and we can’t thank them enough for inducting us.”
