Tennessee Vols fans won’t be surprised at all to learn that former UT outfielder Drew Gilbert keeps going viral after recently getting called up to the big leagues.
Gilbert, who made his MLB debut in early August, has gone viral several times for his dugout antics — specifically the energy he brings after a big moment.

The New York Mets may regret trading former Tennessee Vols outfield Drew Gilbert
Gilbert was traded to the Giants by the New York Mets at the trade deadline in July in a deal that sent relief pitcher Tyler Rogers to Queens (former Vols RHP Blade Tidwell also went from the Mets to the Giants in the deal).
