Country music star Morgan Wallen returned to Neyland Stadium on Sunday night for his second concert of the weekend. After walking out with Tony Vitello, Christian Moore, Blake Burke, Kirby Connell, Billy Amick, Zander Sechrtist and Cal Stark for his Friday night concert in Knoxville, Wallen had a tough task to find even bigger stars to walk out with.
But he found a way to do it. Walking out for his Sunday night concert at Neyland Stadium, Wallen walked out with Josh Heupel, Nico Iamaleava, Bru McCoy and Peyton Manning. But while Heupel, Iamaleava and McCoy walked out in street clothes, Manning walked out in a full Tennessee football uniform.
For the first time 27 years, Manning donned his Tennessee uniform with full shoulder pads, padded pants, cleats and helmet during the walk out.

Wallen has done walk outs with local sports stars throughout his concert tour. In Nashville, he walked out with Titans receiver DeAndre Hopkins, in Kansas City he was flanked by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce and in Dallas he walked out with Troy Aikman.
It made perfect sense for Wallen to walk out with the National Champion Tennessee baseball team on Friday because the Vols’ title in June was what sparked the idea for Wallen to play a concert at Neyland Stadium. After Tennessee football knocked off No. 15 Oklahoma in Norman on Saturday night it made sense for Heupel, Iamaleava and McCoy to do the walk out on Sunday night.
Iamaleava completed 13-of-21 passes for 194 yards and a touchdown while adding 15 rushing yards in the win over the Sooners. McCoy was his top receiver as the super senior caught four passes for 92 yards.
Tennessee football is now entering an open date before facing Arkansas in Fayetteville on Oct. 5 before returning home to Knoxville for four straight home games.
