WATCH: Bullied student Keaton Jones visits Tennessee facility
Over the weekend, a video of a Knoxville middle schooler, Keaton Jones, went viral on the internet. In the video, Jones discusses the bullying he’s faced.
After the video became popular, many in the sports world decided to reach out to the young Jones and offer him the opportunity to come visit them.
On Tuesday, Jones visited the Tennessee football facility, as you can see in the video shared by WR Tyler Byrd below. Jones was given a tour of the facility and also got to meet new AD Phillip Fulmer, who coached the Vols to the 1998 national title:

Being a Knoxville native, this was probably a great experience for Jones, who also received a visit from redshirt freshman QB Jarrett Guarantano recently.
The kind gestures from athletes and everyone else is nice to see for the bullied child, who now probably feels a lot better about himself. Jones will now have some cool stories to tell at school in the coming weeks.
Why is this kid not meeting Pruitt…Fulmer back to his old ways…cut throat Phil.
I was wondering how somebody would try to spin this story into something bad because it’s UT. Good job. You should be real proud.
When people worry they do things like this. They know things are better at UT now.
Really, moron? Coach Pruitt was out recruiting, and he did talk to Coach Pruit via video chat on the video. Obviously you did not actually watch any of it.
Really Andy?
Pruitt is not out recruiting. He is prepping with Bama for the game.
I dont think Andy knows anything other than the color orange is what he wears on saturdays
You’re really an idiot Seatonda. Obviously you didn’t watch the video.
Literally a video of him Facetiming Pruitt… He is out recruiting for TN until the dead period. There are tons of pictures on twitter of recruits with Pruitt over the past few days. Learn facts first, post later.
Pruitt was where he was supposed to be, on the road recruiting. They did speak via Face Time. Do your homework before you come on here and spout off………………
Hope Pruitt k ows what hes in for.
He knows exactly what he’s in for. That’s why he took the job.
Dumb Bo, I mean Debo 1218, have you ever got anything positive to say? If not, stay the Hell off.
Is there not anything better talk about?
Any sports news? Cuz this isnt
You are probably one of the asshats that bullies this kid.
