Apparently Saban invited him to speak to Bama last month.

He spoke to our team last week and had great things to say about Coach Freeze.

I enjoyed that. Inspiring young man.

Inky has been more than a asset to UT. Perfect example how to take lemons and make lemonade out of a life changing situation.

What his story? Not watching a 7 minute video about somebody I've never heard of.
And I prefer Squeaky Johnson

He's gone several times to speak to my former high school football team. Inspiring story.

That game was awesome minus the injury.
He used to have a short radio spot every morning to do a devotional. I'm not religious but it was motivating.

Inky was at our practice today. Wouldn't break the team out with Beat the Vols, but it was worth a try
He has such a great story. Certainly never mind having someone like that around. Glad he's able to continue to be successful.

Bama fan here but we hired him to speak at a work retreat (he even made a joke about Bama fans). The retreat was three days. He was the best part of the retreat and it wasn't very close.

Inky was one of my favorites before he got injured. And he continues to top himself. There's a reason Eric Berry wears his number in the NFL as tribute even though he really only knew Inky after he was injured.
I remember that game vividly and it seemed forever before they moved him. The wait for news was even longer. When Inky returned to the program he talked to coach Fulmer who told him that there was no shame in going back home to heal but Inky was steadfast in wanting to stay. He didn't work so damn hard to escape his neighborhood to go back. He wanted his degree and wanted to make a life here.
A lot of people may not realize that Inky was wayyy undersized and from a neighborhood that coaches avoided recruiting. Fulmer took a chance on him and we're all glad for that.
He's a true inspiration.

Just saw a segment on him on the SEC Network and I was blown away and found his attitude very heart-warming and inspiring.
