Caleb Tallent is a Vol For Life. The 2006 graduate of UT, is currently an engineer captain in the United States Army. He is deployed to FOB LIGHTNING in Gardez, Afghanistan training the Afghan National Army soldiers. Being a Vol For Life and keeping up with Coach Butch Jones' #BrickByBrick theme, Tallent painted a brick and has hauled it around Afghanistan. He has taken it to the top of a mountain in the region where he is stationed. We salute Caleb Tallent.
