“Thanks for stopping by Undertaker,” he wrote in the caption of the posts on both X and Instagram.

The college football world was quick to react to the surprise meeting between the two. Most of the fans were happy to see the duo together but some were surprised by the unexpected encounter. A couple of fans even suggested that the WWE legend might have been there mistakenly. Here are a few reactions.

“UT’s coach could never,” a fan said.

“2 of my favs!!!” another fan said.

“His ass thinks he’s at Villanova probably,” one fan said.

Here are some of the reactions from Clark Lea's Instagram post.

Mark Callaway, popularly known as The Undertaker, retired from WWE in 2020 after 30 years in the ring. While the reason for his visit to Vanderbilt remains unknown, it surely made the day for many of the program fans.

Clark Lea strengthening the Vanderbilt squad after 2023 disaster

Vanderbilt football program has had a significant overhaul since the end of the 2023 season. The Commodores have added more than 17 players to the roster, strengthening the team while addressing the depth issue. According to head coach Clark Lea, they still aren't done with the changes in Nashville.

“We’re addressing what we feel like is depth concern in the front end. There will be some addition of offensive skill (positions), too, which will be important,” Lea told On3.

The Commodores won just two games in the entire 2023 season, with none of them coming against an SEC opponent. Since taking over in December 2020, Clark Lea has won just nine games with the team. The number of losses have been threefold that number.
