One of the biggest early impact players for Kentucky Football is doing more than turning heads during spring practice. Tashawn Manning wants to go viral on TikTok, too.

Manning, a former Auburn offensive lineman who transferred to Kentucky in Dec. 2021, is posting a TikTok dance every day until the video goes viral on the social media platform. The 6-foot-3, 325-pound senior lineman began his journey to internet fame on Saturday. Check out the big man’s dance moves.

It doesn’t look like his first attempt will qualify as “viral” — as it has under 300 views as of the time of this post — which is good for those of you who want to see more from Manning. I’m no dance expert myself, but it feels like it might take him a week or two to rake in those sweet, sweet likes and views. This is where the BBN comes into play and helps juice those numbers.

You can follow Manning on TikTok (@tae_boogie56) and Instagram (@tae_boogie56) to watch his dance journey.

Also, Manning is taking full advantage of the new name, image, and likeness (NIL) rules in college athletics. He recently began selling merch over at Kentucky Branded, where you can purchase mugs, sweatshirts, and t-shirts with Manning’s face and name pictured in a comic book style.
