The University of Tennessee set a world record at Neyland Stadium on Wednesday morning for the largest human letter.

A total of 4,223 students, faculty, staff and alumni gathered on Shield-Watkins Field to break the Guinness Book of World Record.

The group gathered as part of Rokerthon 3. The Today Show’s Al Roker is traveling to colleges across the country trying to set a different world record at each stop.

"To see this crowd this early is pretty exciting," Roker said to 10News anchor Russell Biven.

On Wednesday, UT football coach Butch Jones and Chancellor Beverly Davenport joined Roker on the field at Neyland Stadium. Jones threw a pass to Roker as part of the festivities.

Queen's University in Canada previously held the record when 3,373 people created a giant ‘Q.’
