Trump expected as Texas-Tennessee becomes more than a football game

Trump's expected visit could turn an SEC showdown into one of college football's biggest spectacles.

Trump expected as Texas-Tennessee becomes more than a football game

President Donald Trump is set to attend the Texas Longhorns vs. University of Tennessee Volunteers football game at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee on Saturday, according to sources. The Texas Longhorns and Tennessee Volunteers are both currently 3-0 in their season and are aiming for postseason success. If Trump attends, he will be the second sitting U.S. president to speak at Neyland Stadium, following Richard Nixon's appearance in 1970 to support evangelist Billy Graham.

The event is expected to draw a large crowd, including celebrities and football legends such as Peyton Manning, Kenny Chesney, and Matthew McConaughey.
