Braylon Staley gets free cookies for Tennessee fans with TD vs Kennesaw State

Tennessee football fans will get two free cookies because Braylon Staley scored a touchdown against Kennesaw State.

Staley is UT’s current so-called “Cookie Monster” for Moonshine Mountain Cookie Co., which gives fans two free cookies when the wide receiver scores a touchdown as part of his NIL deal.

The 14th-ranked Vols played Kennesaw State on Saturday, Sept. 19. But fans can pick up their free cookies on Monday, Sept. 21, at Moonshine Mountain Cookie Co. in Knoxville.

Staley’s 13-yard TD catch in the second quarter earned the free cookies for UT fans. He also caught a 20-yard TD pass against Georgia Tech in Week 2 for the first installment of free cookies this season.

Staley is UT’s latest “Cookie Monster” for Moonshine Mountain Cookie Co. as part of an annual NIL deal. That title was held by cornerback Alontae Taylor in 2021, wide receiver Cedric Tillman in 2022, wide receiver Bru McCoy in 2023-24 and kicker Max Gilbert in 2025.
