Viral young Tennessee football fan returns for Alabama game

Tennessee football struggled to build momentum during their game against Florida last week, but fans, including one young fan, continued to bring energy throughout the game. This helped settle Tennessee down and find the endzone throughout the second half and overtime. 

A young Tennessee fan became a viral sensation during the game, and his popularity took off on social media. His dance moves ignited a raucous crowd in Neyland Stadium and helped the Vols beat the Gators 23-17 in overtime. 

Cayson Cagle's dance moves went viral on social media after being featured on the in-stadium jumbotron throughout the second half.

He even received some recognition from Dont'e Thornton, who said he helped keep the energy up on the sidelines and throughout the stadium.

"The one little kid who was dancing, I think he's the reason we won the game," said Thornton on the podcast. "He brought the energy back to the whole game, for sure."

Cayson has received a lot of acknowledgment and will be back in Neyland Stadium for the Third Saturday in October against Alabama thanks to help from Pilot Flying J, a huge partner for Tennessee football and the athletic department.

Cayson was Tennessee's good luck charm against Florida, and the Vols will need his energy to return, so expect to see Cayson's dance moves in front of 102,000 fans in a near must-win game for Tennessee. 

Tennessee and Alabama are scheduled to kick off at 3:30 PM ET on ABC. Sean McDonough is on the call, and former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy is joining him in the booth for the rivalry showdown.
