Gov Bill Lee Makes Statement As Special Session Ends 1
United States Army, PFC Mark P. Wilson, from Elizabethton, TN, served in Company A, 1st Battalion, 112th Infantry Regiment, 28th Infantry Division. On November 8, 1944, his unit was engaged with German forces during the Battle of the Hürtgen Forrest. PFC Wilson was killed when an artillery shell destroyed a house where he was taking shelter. He was reported missing in action on November 8, 1944. His body was unable to be recovered, and the Germans never reported him as a prisoner of war. He was declared killed in action after the war. In May 1945, a resident of the town discovered remains in the rubble of the house and buried them nearby.
U.S. personnel could not identify these remains, and they were interred as unknown in the Ardennes American Cemetery. The remains were disinterred in July 2021 and sent to the DPAA laboratory at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, for identification. On September 12, 2022, PFC Wilson was officially accounted for.
Wilson was buried in Arlington National Cemetery on June 7, 2023, with full military honors.
Tennessee Army National Guard, CW3 Danny E. Randolph joined the Tennessee Army National Guard on April 21, 2009, as an Aviation Operations Specialist. Before becoming a Warrant Officer, he served as an Air Traffic Controller while deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2011. He graduated from the Warrant Officer Candidate School on May 28, 2015. Upon graduating from flight school on August 21, 2014, he served as a UH-60 Blackhawk Pilot and Aviation Life Support Equipment Officer. Chief Randolph aspired to be a Maintenance Test Pilot, graduating from the Aviation Maintenance Officer Course on October 06, 2020. His dedication to duty and loyalty to his State was evident in his eagerness to volunteer for several national emergency missions, including hurricane relief, wildfire support, and COVID-19 support.
Chief Randolph tragically lost his life on February 15, 2023, in a UH-60 Blackhawk accident in Huntsville, AL. He was born to parents Chester and Patricia on July 23, 1982, in Hendersonville, TN. He married his wife Melissa on May 5, 2017. He was a father to 4 children and 3 stepchildren: Jackson, Laine, Kori, Skyler, Barrett, Avery, and Everett.
Tennessee Army National Guard, CW3 Daniel L. Wadham enlisted on May 14, 2007, as a Combat Engineer but was reclassified to Military Police shortly after completing Advanced Individual Training. He deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom with the 252nd Military Police Company in 2007. He graduated the Warrant Officer Candidate School on June 06, 2013. Upon graduating from WOCS, he was assigned as a UH-60 Pilot and eventually an Aviation Safety Officer for his company. While serving as a UH-60 Pilot in A Company 1-230th AHB, he deployed again to Kosovo in 2018. His dedication to duty and loyalty to his state was evident in his eagerness to volunteer for national emergency missions, including multiple hurricane relief missions and COVID- 19 support.
Chief Wadham, of Joelton, TN, tragically lost his life on February 15, 2023, in a UH-60 Blackhawk accident in Huntsville, AL. He was born September 29, 1983, in Harris County, TX, to parents Timothy and Debby. He married his wife Rosetta on 10 August 2021. He was father to two daughters, Lillian and Scarlett.
“Today we honor the servicemembers who paid the ultimate price for our freedom,” said Gov. Lee. “Words cannot express the depth of our gratitude for the thousands of men and women who chose to put their lives on the line so we could live in the most exceptional nation in the world.
“May we never forget their courage and willingness to faithfully serve our country.”
“As we remember those we have lost, let us offer a ‘thank you’ for their sacrifice—a ‘thank you’ to their families for all they have sacrificed,” said Baker, “Their sacrifice does not go unnoticed by our state or nation or the people for whom our heroes take the oath to protect and defend.”
“Memorial Day is a day of great remembrance for those service members who sacrificed everything for us,” said Maj. Gen. Warner Ross, Tennessee’s Adjutant General. “Out of respect, I challenge everyone to take time today and remember and honor those that gave so much. We need to ensure that their memories and sacrifice are never forgotten.”

Tennessee WR Chris Brazzell Among Top Projected Fantasy Football Options in 2026 NFL Draft | Rocky Top Insider
Tennessee football is set to send a handful of players from its 2025 roster to the NFL during this upcoming draft. However, one stands out as a potential breakout star for fantasy football players.
Wide receiver Chris Brazzell proved to be one of the top pass catchers in the SEC this past season, leading the conference in yards per game. Now, he’s widely projected as a second-round pick with the potential to even climb into the first round after a strong combine showing.
With the combine in the books and the draft coming up next month, ESPN ranked incoming rookies on their projected fantasy football output. He clocked in at No. 13 and the seventh-highest ranked receiver.
“Brazzell is a tall, perimeter receiver with a big wingspan who will do most of his damage down field (career 14.2 aDOT at Tennessee) and doesn’t offer much after the catch (class-worst 3.6 RAC),” ESPN’s Mike Clay wrote. “He has good speed (4.37 40-yard dash) and may settle in as a boom/bust low-volume, splash-play fantasy option.”

Brazzell wrapped up his second season with Tennessee in 2025. In 12 games, he produced 1,017 yards and nine touchdowns on 62 receptions. He proved to be an elite deep-ball threat with Joey Aguilar at quarterback and Josh Heupel retooling the offensive scheme.
His best game came against Georgia at home. Brazzell recorded six receptions for 177 yards and three touchdowns in the game. He went over the 100-yard mark four times and over 90 yards five times.
Prior to that, Brazzell played two seasons at Tulane before transferring to join the Vols for their 2024 College Football Playoff campaign.
The 2026 NFL Draft is scheduled to begin on April 23 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. If Brazzell does fall outside the first round, he’d likely go the following day when rounds two and three are held. The remaining four rounds are the next day.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Antoine Lorick III scored 18 points, and top-seeded Tennessee State beat No. 2 seed Morehead State 93-67 on Saturday night for the Tigers’ first win in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament championship game since 1994.
Travis Harper II made five 3-pointers and finished with 17 points for Tennessee State (23-9), which shot 16 of 26 from long range. Dante Harris and Carlous Williams added 16 points apiece. Aaron Nkrumah chipped in with 14 points and six assists. Harris grabbed 11 of the Tigers’ 44 rebounds.
George Marshall scored 17 points and shot 4 of 9 from beyond the arc to lead Morehead State (20-13). Anouar Mellouk and Davion Cunningham added 12 points each.
The Tigers scored a Division-I program-record 55 points in the first half for a 21-point lead. Harris scored 16 points and shot 4 of 7 from deep. Harper added 15 points on five 3s. Marshall scored 12 first-half points for Morehead State.
TSU entered having won a program-best 15 conference games. The Tigers won back-to-back tournament titles in 1993 and 1994.
The teams split the regular-season series, each winning at home. Tennessee State won the first meeting 105-100 in overtime. Morehead State won the second 94-86.
