Mr. BURCHETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of Wes Rucker, who tragically lost his life on February 19.
University of Tennessee beginning in 2000 for, I believe, The Daily Beacon at UT.
Vols and other professional sports. In 2011, he joined “CBS Sports” as a senior writer and also hosted two radio shows on ESPN Radio Knoxville. Wes also hosted multiple podcasts, was a Heisman Trophy voter, an AP football and basketball poll voter, and a contributor to the AP All-American Team and All-SEC selections.
Tennessee. He was known as a wonderful guy who loved every second of his job and being with the UT family every day.
wonderful wife, his young son, and his unborn
baby. His wife lost her husband, and his son and unborn baby lost their daddy. I can't even imagine the hurt that that would cause, so please say a prayer for them.
