A former Tennessee Vols standout went viral this past week for his reaction to playing with UT in the new EA Sports College Football video game. 

Former Vols tight end Princeton Fant was seen in a video (which was posted by his girlfriend) jumping around in excitement as he played the new EA Sports College Football game after it was released last week. 

Fant played at Tennessee from 2017 to 2022 (which means he was one of the very few Vols who played for Butch Jones, Jeremy Pruitt, and Josh Heupel). 

Fant's best season with the Vols came in 2022 when he caught 22 passes for 241 yards and three touchdowns. He also had one of the wildest stat lines in college football in 2022, scoring five rushing touchdowns on just six rushing attempts. 

The former Vol went undrafted in 2023, but he was signed as an UDFA by the Dallas Cowboys. 

Fant spent most of the 2023 season on the Cowboys' practice squad, though he did appear in two regular season games, seeing most of his action on special teams.
