PARENTS NAME BABY ‘TENNESSEE’ ON EVE OF UT/FLA GAME

Your son wants to make his first appearance in the world on the eve of the Florida game: what do you do?

Zuri Willis and Nicklas Willis welcomed a healthy baby boy into the world at 12:48 a.m. today, Friday, Sept. 21. The Vols kick off against Florida at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22.

The natural thing to do? Name the baby Tennessee.

Nicklas Tennessee Willis– who will go by his middle name– is hereby a self-proclaimed good omen for Tennessee Volunteers football, said mom Zuri.

The baby boy was already in his Volunteer orange for photos at Oak Ridge Methodist Hospital Friday afternoon.

Go Vols!
