Tennessee Athletics would take to X to drop a huge announcement regarding Tennessee next year.

Luke Combs stop in East Tennessee as the "My Kind of Saturday Night Tour," will roll into Knoxville on May 2, 2025.

Combs is responsible for numerous hits like "When it Rains it Pours," "One Number Away," "Beautiful Crazy," "Better Together," "Ain't No Love in Oklahoma," and many more.

There is a unique factor in the midst of this all. Luke Combs has a connection to a current Volunteer.

The Connection

Yes, the world-known country music artist shares something unique with Tennessee football quarterback, Joey Aguilar.

You're probably sitting there wondering just what it is that these two have in common, and it may not be what you think.

The pair are former Mountaineers.

The duo spent their college years at Appalachian State.

Joey spent a couple of years there before transferring to UCLA for a short period before making his way to East Tennessee.

Combs was very close to graduation day when he decided to leave school due to his focus on a musical career.

QB1 in Knoxville spent two seasons (2023-2024) at Appalachian State.

2023 was a record setting season. Aguilar would go into the 2023 season as the Sun Belt's Preseason Offensive Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year.

The season would end with Aguilar as the MVP of the Cure Bowl, and school records holder for single season passing yards and touchdowns.

Now, Aguilar is leading the Tennessee offense every Saturday where he is currently 5-1 (2-1).

The transfer quarterback has thrown 118 completions on 182 attempts while producing 1,680-yards and 14 touchdowns.

Luke Combs

The accolades are a mile long for the North Carolina native.

- 2X CMA Entertainer of the Year winner (2021+2022)
- 2X Album of the Year winner (2020+2022)
- 2025 Jim Reeves International Award winner

That is only a fraction of the accomplishments of Combs. Playing inside Neyland Stadium will be something worthy of conversations of accolades begin.

Maybe dropping out a semester before graduating was the right call. It is hard to argue with the success that Combs has had.

If Aguilar is still around campus when this concert is conducted, I would not be surprised to see the two share a stage.
