Among the biggest losses for Tennessee is redshirt senior linebacker Keenan Pili, who is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. Following the disappointing news, he shared a statement on social media with Volunteers fans.
“To my brothers, coaches and staff, thank you for helping me become a better man on and off the field. Let’s go finish what we started! To my family, wife and baby boy on the way, thank you for sacrificing for me to live my dream. I hope I made you proud,” Pili wrote. “To Tennessee, friends and fans, thank you for treating me as family and giving me a place I can always call home. Your love and support has been felt during this time. To the game of football, I don’t know what the future holds, but thank you for a lifetime of memories I will cherish and never forget. As hard and confusing as life may be, I thank my Father in Heaven for allowing me to play this game, and I trust in His Plan.”
