"Sorry we have to meet this way": Joey Aguilar's GF Rylan Moffitt teases brother Trevor for being rival team's LB in Week 2 faceoff

Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar had a good start in his debut with Tennessee in Week 1, recording 247 passing yards for three touchdowns against Syracuse at home. His team won the matchup 45-26. As he gets comfortable playing on the field with his new team after transferring from Appalachian State and briefly spending time at UCLA, he has been leaning on his girlfriend, Rylan Moffitt, for support.

As she cheered on her boyfriend during Week 2, Tennessee played against East Tennessee State, where Rylan’s brother, Trevor Moffitt, plays linebacker. Before the game, Rylan posted a video of her brother’s team coming onto the field with the caption:

“HIII BROTHER @trevormoffitt SORRY WE HAVE TO MEET THIS WAY.”
