Smokey X, Tennessee’s own mascot from 2013-2023, has been diagnosed with kidney cancer. Give a prayer for Smokey today 🙏 Smokey X, nearly 14 years old, made his debut for the Volunteers during the 2013 football season. He saw it all, from all of Butch Jones, to Jeremy Pruitt, to the beginning of the Josh Heupel era. Truly a legend 🍊 - via Justin Wallace, WBIR
