University Of Tennessee students got quite the surprise this week when one of the school's more famous alumni crashed an online course.

Speaking to the students who have been forced out of his former professor's classroom by the coronavirus, Peyton Manning shared some encouraging words.

"I realize this is probably not the ideal way you guys expected to spend your senior year," said the retired NFL superstar, adding, "I just encourage you to keep a positive attitude. Keep working like you're doing and try to take a little bit of the extra time you have to accomplish something else or help out somebody in need."

Fortunately, the school captured the video and shared the message on their YouTube channel.
