VFL Jay Graham has a new job.
The former Tennessee running back is headed to Centennial High School to coach football.
Graham will be the head coach for the Cougars team based out of Franklin.
“From Rocky Top to Mallory [Lane],” Centennial posted on X. “Your new head football coach for the Centennial Cougars! Welcome, coach Jay Graham.”
Graham played for Tennessee in the mid-90s at a time when the Vols were known for a lethal rushing attack.
He had over 2,600 career rushing yards and 25 touchdowns on the ground.
Years later Graham coached the running backs as an assistant at UT both in 2012 under Derek Dooley and in 2020 under Jeremy Pruitt.
