KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – As dismantling of Morgan Wallen’s set continued at Neyland Stadium on Monday, his alma mater, Gibbs High School, was still basking in the spotlight he brought with him.

“I figured he would wear a Gibbs outfit at some point. I knew he had some stuff delivered to him at some point,” said Jason Webster, principal of Gibbs High School.

Webster was in the crowd Sunday when Wallen changed his clothes, switching from a button-down shirt to a Gibbs High School baseball jersey.

“The fact that he was so willing to make a statement about Coach Davis and baseball on the biggest stage and put on that jersey so everyone knows he’s a graduate of Gibbs High School made me proud,” Webster said.

Wallen donned the jersey for a series of songs on Sunday night.

These songs were created after he sang one of his hits, “98 Braves,” in front of a Gibbs baseball G and the bleachers that once stood behind the free throw lines at Gibbs Baseball Stadium.

“A huge sense of pride went through me. I remember screaming really loudly, you can probably hear it in my voice, but it was really cool to see him walk up in front of 80,000 people last night in that Eagles jersey,” said Gibbs senior and aspiring musician Breylen Jones.

Jones was also in attendance Sunday night and was overjoyed to see Wallen wearing Gibbs’ baby blue jerseys.

“I’ve seen him four or five times myself in little places here and there, but to be able to see him sell out Neyland Stadium is really cool and it means a lot to me to go here to Gibbs and see that,” Jones said.

Wallen is not the first Eagle to perform a concert at Neyland Stadium.

Kenny Chesney hosted a concert at UT’s football stadium in the early 2000s.

“It’s really cool to see what we’ve accomplished in this little country town out here that used to be in the middle of nowhere,” Jones said.

During Wallen’s two-day stay, more than 156,000 people streamed through Neyland’s gates, surpassing the record set by the Jackson 5 at three shows in 1984.
