Although he was beyond grateful and thankful for the opportunity to be on the team, he wasn’t stopping there. He put his nose to the grind, continued to make significant strides and is now part of the rotation while also contributing on special teams. Dayne earned a starting position for his first start in the Alabama game playing 57 snaps at right tackle without committing a penalty or allowing a pressure.
Dayne earned a scholarship in December 2020 and then made an immediate impact on the staff with his outstanding play and work ethic in the spring of 2021. He is the first Power Five scholarship football player from Sullivan East.
In 2021, Dayne was selected as a finalist for the Burlsworth Trophy. The Burlsworth Trophy is named in honor of former Arkansas walk-on and All-American offensive lineman Brandon Burlsworth. The award is given annually to the most outstanding football player in America who began his career as a walk-on and has shown outstanding performance on the field.
He is the son of Michael and Venessa Davis and is majoring in Supply Chain Management with a collateral in Business Analytics . He was First Team All-Northeast Conference in high school and named to the 2020 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll while at Tennessee.

Matt Stillwell
Entertainer
Introducing Matt Stillwell
He was born in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in Sylva, North Carolina. He played baseball at Western Carolina University where he was an All Conference player on the Catamount’s Southern Conference Championship Baseball team. Baseball turned into music and he has since been traveling across the country heading his own shows and opening for most of today’s country superstars. Matt and his wife, Lindsey, live in Knoxville, TN with their two beautiful daughters, Carolina and Ruby.
Matt’s debut single “Shine” debuted at #25 on iTunes Country Chart, reached the TOP #50 on Billboard’s Country Charts. The accompanying music video reached #5 on CMT Pure while breaking into the Top 10 on GAC’s Top 20 Country Countdown. The album went on to produce another Top 50 Billboard single in “Sweet Sun Angel” and two more top videos on CMT Pure with “Dirt Road Dancing” and “Sweet Sun Angel”. The first single “Ignition” from his album “Right On Time” reached TOP #50 on the Billboard Hot Country Chart.
Stillwell’s most current release, “Hey Dad”, written as a tribute to his late father, has over 1,000,000 streams and over 30,000,000 collective views of the video. He recorded a new stripped down version of the song and released it to radio this year. “Hey Dad (2021)” just reached #37 on the Billboard Indicator Chart.
In 2019, Matt stripped everything down to just him and his guitar, and set out on his Hometown House Party Tour. This began as the marketing around his song, “Everybody’s Got A Hometown”, but when Covid19 shut the world down, it became his new way of touring. He had a trailer built that serves as his stage and merchandise booth. By the end of 2022, he will have played 200 shows since he began the Hometown House Party Tour.
Matt has worked with major brands like Budweiser, Ole Smoky Moonshine, Flinkin, Morton Buildings, and Hunt Brothers Pizza. He has been featured on CBS This Morning, Fox & Friends, and Diners, Drivins, and Dives. Matt is the ambassador for the Cal Ripken Sr Foundation’s “Badges For Baseball” program which places at risk youth with law enforcement. To date they have partnered with 14 MLB teams to host Badges For Baseball Clinics that Stillwell helps run. He incorporates his music by singing the National Anthem at the games and clinics. He plans to bring that program to College Baseball by integrating his Hometown House Party Tour with teams he’s connected to this fall.
