The other Tommy Redding: Fans confuse Georgia minister with rising Orlando City defender

Everyone was talking about Tommy Redding's breakout Orlando City game over the weekend, even Tommy Redding. Not that Tommy Redding, the other Tommy Redding.

The Tommy Redding from a small city outside of Atlanta. The Tommy Redding who is a minister of education at a local Baptist church, who used to coach his son and daughter in youth soccer and whose Twitter feed blew up with people mistaking him for Orlando City defender and Oviedo native Tommy Redding during the Lions' 1-0 win at NYCFC Friday.

That Tommy Redding has no ties to Orlando except for his name.
