EMI Records Nashville artist Eric Paslay appeared on the Grand Ole Opry last night (March 15) performing a few of his hits, including new single “High Class” and “She Don’t Love You,” which is nominated for “Song of the Year” at the upcoming Academy of Country Music Awards.

Following his performance, Paslay was presented with the “Young Alumni Achievement Award” from his alma mater, Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). The award was presented by MTSU President Dr. Sidney McPhee alongside Grand Ole Opry Vice President and General Manager Pete Fisher, also an alumni from the school and a past recipient of two MTSU achievement awards, including the Distinguished Alumnus Award.

The “Young Alumni Achievement Award” honors an MTSU graduate 35 years of age or younger who has had outstanding achievement in career, public service and/or volunteer activities and is selected annually by the Association’s Board of Directors from nominations submitted by alumni, MTSU faculty, staff and friends.
