Knoxville, Tennessee – A Tennessee football player’s morning cup of joe is going viral this morning, as it was revealed that an eloquent barista actually spelled his unusual and vowel-dominated last name correctly on his tall hot venti oat milk latte.

“Well would you look at that,” Nico Iamaleava captioned the noteworthy image around 7 am.

“Can’t believe it. The embroiderers needed three tries to get it right on my jersey, this is insane,” the comment concluded.

It wasn’t clear if the barista in question is an unusually good speller or just a Volunteers football super fan, but subsequent evidence is pointing to the latter. Shortly thereafter, it was revealed that a guest named “Lauren” behind Iamaleava still had her name misspelled by the same coffee grinder.

Updates will be published as they’re received.
