Tennessee Titans fullback Collin Mooney ’09 has accepted the opportunity to stand in representation of all who are standing or have stood for America through military service. The graduate of West Point will be the “12th Titan” during pregame festivities when Tennessee hosts Jacksonville Sunday at LP Field at the annual “Salute to Service” game.
“It means a lot, and when they first talked to me about that, I wanted to be sure that it was the Armed Services that are the 12thTitan and I’m representing them, so it’s a huge honor for me to be able to run out and put that sword at the 50-yard line for all of the Armed Services and for all who have served” said Mooney.
Mooney learned this week that he is being promoted from 1st Lt. to Capt. in the U.S. Army Reserves.
