The Tennessee Vols inadvertently went viral this past weekend during five-star offensive lineman David Sanders Jr's official visit to UT. 

Tennessee accidentally misspelled Sanders' first name on a name card at dinner on Saturday, writing "Davis" instead of "David". The internet noticed the snafu after Sanders posted a photo of his steak on social media. 

That mistake likely won't have an impact on Sanders' decision on where to commit, but it's still a mistake that shouldn't happen at a major SEC program. 

Fortunately for the Vols, it appears that Sanders was able to laugh off the mistake.

"They might've spelled my name wrong, but we all know it's a lil (Rocky) to get to the (Top) GBO," wrote Sanders in an Instagram post on Monday.

Despite the spelling mistake, multiple reports have indicated that Tennessee nailed Sanders' official visit. And the Vols are very much in the thick of this recruiting battle. 

Sanders will take visits to Alabama and Ohio State this week before taking some time to make a decision (likely by the end of the summer).
