University of Tennessee

Rainey was a prominent running back for the Tennessee Volunteers of the University of Tennessee.

1913

On the 6–7 loss to Vanderbilt in 1913, "'Red' Rainey shone for Tennessee, though he was later relegated to the side lines after a collision with one A. Sikes, Esq., otherwise known as the "Roaring Representative from Williamson."^[1] Rainey was selected All-Southern.^[2]

1914

A description of the 14–7 victory of Sewanee in 1914 reads, "'Red Rainey' got back into the game just at the start of the third quarter, after a month's absence from scrimmage. In spite of his bum ankle, "Red" did some good work and finished the game without calling time out. Once he intercepted a forward pass and made a good return."^[3]
