With country music star Morgan Wallen performing two nights at The Swamp, one of the discussion points going into the show was who was going to be his surprise walkout guest when he took the stage. Throughout his tour, Wallen usually has a notable local celebrity or athlete who joins him during his walk to the stage. Florida certainly has a ton of options to choose from and it was anyone’s guess as to who Wallen would pick.
As Wallen made his way to the stage, Wallen ended up pulling one of the biggest stars in Gator history to join him.

Tim Tebow wound up being the walkout guest on night one for Wallen. It wasn’t a long drive for Tebow to make, as the former Heisman Trophy winner still lives in Jacksonville. Tebow did big Gator Chomp as he walked to the stage, which Wallen playfully did not join in doing.
Wallen is from Knoxville and is a noted Tennessee Volunteers fan, but he did touch the Gator head in the tunnel before walking out.

Tebow wasn’t the only reference to the Gators during the show, as at one point the speaker played Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down.”
But with night two on the horizon, it opens the door for who could possibly be the guest for night two of the show? Steve Spurrier would be an easy pick as he still lives in Gainesville, though no word on whether or not Spurrier would consider himself a Wallen fan. Thomas Haugh was doing meet and greets with fans prior to the show as part of a VIP package, so is it possible we could see Haugh and Todd Golden take the stage? Jon Sumrall has hinted he is not going to take the stage, but he might have one or two tricks up his sleeve.
Night two of Morgan Wallen’s show in The Swamp is slated to start at 5:30. Though, if night one is any indication, Wallen himself won’t take the stage until after the sun goes down.
