Tennessee sophomore defensive end Derek Barnett had one of the best freshman seasons in the nation and looks to be a rising star for the Vols. There’s no question about that.
He’s the type of player who could be a Tennessee fan’s favorite player. But (courtesy of @Geaux_Hitch_865 on Twitter) there’s at least one unnamed Tennessee fan (see update below) out there who has taken his support for Barnett to a new level – getting a large tattoo that feature his name on it.

Update: We were told via Twitter that the person in the picture is Barnett’s uncle
@rockytopinsider I'm the artist that did the Loyalty Derek Barnett tattoo. The tattoo is on Derek's uncle. pic.twitter.com/VXPxVZKCo0
