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." Rainey was selected All-Southern.
