A tribute to a Tennessee legend is being made by Middle Tennessee State football. The team will wear a special patch on their jerseys to honor Dolly Parton. This gesture is a way to recognize her impact as a humanitarian and music icon.

The patch will be worn during the team's home season opener. Further details about the patch and the tribute can be found through the university's announcements.

The first game where the patch will be worn is scheduled for September 5, against Murray State.
