Tennessee football fans can get free cookies every time wide receiver Braylon Staley finds the end zone this season.
Staley is UT's so-called "Cookie Monster" for the 2026 season, meaning fans can pick up two free cookies from Moonshine Mountain Co. if he scores a touchdown during a game. Staley announced his partnership with Moonshine Mountain Co. on Aug. 19.
The "Cookie Monster" title has been part of an annual NIL deal between UT players and Moonshine Mountain Cookie Co. It's been previously held by cornerback Alontae Taylor in 2021, wide receiver Cedric Tillman in 2022, wide receiver Bru McCoy in 2023 and 2024 and kicker Max Gilbert in 2025.
Staley logged five games with at least one touchdown reception, and finished second on the team with six
total touchdown catches, during a breakout season in 2025.
UT opens the 2026 season by hosting against Furman at Neyland Stadium on Sept. 5 (3:30 p.m. ET, SEC Network+/ESPN+).
