Vols DT Alexis Johnson had misdemeanor assault charge
dismissed today in Knox Co. General Sessions Court, said his attorney Greg Isaacs.

Earlier, Johnson's charge of false imprisonment was dismissed.
He’s been cleared by criminal court and UT. He has yet to play this season.

I am glad he has been cleared of any charges..something about his whole situation and the timing of the accusation, did not seem kosher to me.

But like with anything of this nature, I with hold any judgement either way until the courts get to the truth.

I hope he is good enough to help the team out

Pretty sure he hasn't taken a snap yet this year. When I pulled that information above from UT Athletics web site it was all goose eggs for think years contribution including time played. I don't have any first hand info just going by those stats. I do believe he has dressed out tho.

He's listed as playing in the VT game on the UT sports site.

First Game Action As Vols

Five players made their playing debuts as Vols vs. Virginia Tech, including true freshmen Carlin Fils-Ame and Taeler Dowdy, redshirt freshmen Venzell Boulware and Darrell Taylor, and transfer Alexis Johnson.

at this juncture he's a redshirt.
I'm not real impressed with the DTs they've got committed. look more like developmental projects. Johnson should be able to step in to replace O'Brien, which is only sr. He was the top juco DT. a year in the S&C and you'll have strong depth next year.

Can you imagine how a dedicated he said she said game could be used to destroy football teams without ever taking the field against each other? If it hasn't been used, it's only a matter of time before somebody figures it out - not necessarily institutional - could be booster type problems ... again/still (not that those aren't sometimes unofficially sanctioned).

At one point his UT bio listed 1 game played, now it lists none. Unless we are really hurting at DT, I could see the staff trying to redshirt him. It's easy for them to materialize an injury if a guy only plays a few snaps in order to get a redshirt.

Especially considering if we don't redshirt him, then next year will be his last year of eligibility
