Former volunteer Alvin Kamara attends Tennessee Football vs. Alabama at Neyland Stadium

Alvin Kamara is at Neyland Stadium to watch Tennessee football vs. Alabama on Saturday.

The New Orleans Saints star and Vols product posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, early Saturday morning that he was “heading to Knoxville in an orange robe.” He also refuted a rumor that he had requested a trade.

Kamara rushed for 1,294 yards in two seasons with the Vols. He set a Tennessee record with 312 all-purpose yards at Texas A&M in 2016, breaking the previous record of 294 set by Chuck Webb against Ole Miss in 1989. He ran for 127 yards and had 161 receiving yards to join Jamal Lewis as the two Vols in program history to have 100 yards rushing and receiving in the same game.

He was drafted in the third round by the New Orleans Saints in 2017. He rushed for 6,267 yards in eight NFL seasons. He was named to the Pro Bowl in each of his first five seasons.

Kamara redshirted at Alabama in 2013 and transferred to Hutchinson Community College in Kansas. He transferred to UT in 2015.
