Peyton Manning revealed Monday that he will be participating in the coin toss ceremony at the “Battle at Bristol” game September 10 at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway. Manning will be joined by Virginia Tech alum Bruce Smith.
That is one of three Vols games Manning said he plans to attend this season.
Manning was on campus at Tennessee awarding four students with Peyton Manning Scholarships. Awarded annually since 1998, the Peyton Manning Scholarship is presented to a first-year student participating in the university’s Honors Program. The Manning Scholarship covers the costs of tuition, room, and board and is granted on the basis of academic achievement, leadership and community service.
