Vols Home Finale Will Carry Special Meaning For Fifth Year Senior Charles Folger

The Vols will say goodbye to their seniors on Saturday in their home finale at Neyland Stadium.
While the big names will get the biggest cheers, the biggest tears will come from fifth year senior Charles Folger.
The walk-on defensive lineman has played in only three games his entire career, but he will always be a Vol For Life.
Said Folger:”Ya’ll honestly have no idea what it’s like to be sitting up here for the first time talking about my last time running through the ‘T’. Well my dad won’t like this, but I’m going to cry like a baby. It’s going to be so emotional seeing my family. Some guys will never get the opportunity to play. Some guys fight five, six, seven days a week for the Vol Walk to do it six times a year.”
Reporter-“Being a walk-on guy or a former walk-on guy, a guy who you know there were a lot of games where you’re just not going to play. Why did you keep taking the pounding during the week?”
Said Folger:”But to go through it every day. Who says we’re taking the pounding? Who says we’re not laying the wood to somebody you know.”
Reporter:”You’re one of four fifth-year guys on this team that are still here from the previous coaching regime. (Derek Dooley) Do you guys kind of laugh about that? Any funny memories from that first year?”
Laughs Folger:”If I have to say one thing about the previous coaching regime. I would say has anybody seen Rommel? Rommel. Where’s Rommel?”
Said Dooley in 2010 referencing World War II:”They were in the bunkers. It’s coming. They. Call Rommel.”
Said Folger:”We joke about it all the time because we know how much better this program is with Butch Jones and his staff. This August I graduated with a bachelor’s in special education. I’m doing masters classes right now for masters in deaf education. I’m volunteering doing community service hours at the Tennessee school for the Deaf.”
