Morgan Wallen is being honored by Gibbs High School in Corryton, TN, with the renaming of their baseball field to "Morgan Wallen Field." The school approved the decision on March 7, following a suggestion from Principal Jason Webster last fall.
Wallen, a member of the school's 2010 State Championship baseball team and a 2011 graduate, had his baseball career cut short by an injury but has continued to give back to the community. Principal Webster praised Wallen for his ongoing support of Gibbs High and local schools.
In 2023, Wallen donated $500,000 to help revitalize a historic baseball complex in Nashville, further solidifying his commitment to baseball and his community.
Wallen joins fellow CMA Entertainer of the Year winner Kenny Chesney as one of Gibbs’ famous alumni.

The life of Randy Travis is being turned into a feature film. Forever and Ever, Amen, is currently in production. Clay Walker will star as Randy. He is actually the reason the movie is getting made. Clay, who is a longtime friend of Randy and his wife, Mary, took the idea to filmmaker Andrew Hyatt, who used Randy's memoir and other sources to write the screenplay. Andrew will also direct the film. Moviegoers "are going to find out the deep struggles that he had," says Clay. "I look at Randy's life, and I see redemption. This is a man who's overcome all those challenges. He's survived it all. Everybody knows that golden voice of his, but I think this movie is going to endear him to people in a whole new way." Recordings of Randy will be used for the performance scenes. Filming is expected to begin this summer. They are hoping to release the movie in spring 2026.
