6. Kenny Chesney – Tennessee

Kenny Chesney gets good-natured ribbing because he seems to be friendly with just about every SEC program. He’s like the Drake of the college football world, but his heart is with the Tennessee Volunteers.

Chesney was born in Knoxville and produced an ESPN documentary about former Tennessee quarterback Condredge Holloway who was the first African-American starting quarterback in the SEC and broke the color barrier at Tennessee.

Ask Tennessee fans about Chesney and you’ll get a split reaction from the fan base. Because of his fairweather status, many Vols fans don’t want to “claim” him as one of their own.

If you don’t claim Chesney, then perhaps you’ll claim David Keith as the biggest celebrity fan of the Vols. The actor known for Officer and a Gentleman was born in Knoxville and still lives there today with his family. He went to school at Tennessee and when his schedule permits, he’s seen on the sidelines for home games in Neyland Stadium.
