[VFLCodyGBO]

Report: Tennessee freshman receiver has left the program

 

[MaximumVOLtage]

Well damn.. I was really looking forward to seeing this kid healthy next year.

I guess Byrd really IS the Word.

 

[dcm3w]

Dang. I was excited to see him play.

 

[IN Jed]

did he have a football scholarship at UT?

 

[UneducatedGuess]

Study up kid. Good luck.

 

[BigOrangeD]

did he have a football scholarship at UT?

He did but lost it due to grades.

 

[vtvol98]

Would venture to say that Latrell Williams was ahead of him at the slot position. Sucks from a depth standpoint. Oh well, room for another 2017 signee.

 

[volfannbama]

Another victim of volnation j/k

Good luck man. Hope you can get the academic parts down in the future.I

 

[volfan102455]

So grades is the real reason. Hopefully he can get back on track and play baseball somewhere.

Bingo. With the number crunch in this class, positional depth needing to be addressed, and the Thornton center at their disposal, scholarships are not going to be kept by guys not hitting the books. I hate it for him, but that is the reality of the situation.

Duel sport athletes who play football have to be on a football scholarship. My understanding is Bear Bryant was the reason for that rule

Back in the 70s & 80s UT had a lot of players on the track team. Several WR's ran track. I wasn't sure which sport their scholly was for but it was much different back then.

 

[vol-un-tear]

Hope he got something out of the last two years. Forgot about him till now. Good luck

I'd like to see Latrell get a chance to return kicks/punts..he has legit 4.3 speed

You are right. He was a blue shirt coming in last year. Could probably see the writing on the wall that he wasn't going to be offered a football scholly.

 

[jimallvol]

It really bites losing one of our home grown kids!

He HAD a scholarship. Lost it due to academics. His plan was to earn it back.

 

[ncvol004]

Alot of hype on this kid his freshman year but Seems like injuries plegged him too bad wanted to see him play

 

[Biopsyman]

Who?

Bear Bryant is the reason for a lot of rules.

 

[knox73]

This is why you over sign. Perry may be just not cut out for college. Too bad as that is the natural progression following high school. Maybe he can catch on with the U.S. Army.

 

[billford]

Best of luck to you. Bye now✋

Makes alot of sense. Could you imagine coaches filling other sports up with football players?

 

[ArettaVol]

Injuries and grades kept him off the field. He made some great catches in practice, and I was hoping to see him play for the Vols. Good luck to him, hope he gets a shot to play somewhere.
