Per 247 and GoVols sports.
Two former walk-ons and a former Knoxville standout no longer are with the University of Tennessee football program.
Cody Blanc, signed by Derek Dooley out of Knoxville Central, left the team per sources, as did long-time walk-on Jaye Rochell. Both players were wideouts.
Former tight end/H-back Joe Stocstill graduated in the spring and elected not to return to the football program.
None of the three players was listed on the roster provided media by UT Sports Information personnel during Tuesday's practice on Haslam Field, the Vols' second of preseason camp.
Blanc would have been a redshirt-senior; he had appeared in 26 games with one career start during a career marred by injuries. He had one career catch for 43 yards during Tennessee's 2013 loss at Alabama during Butch Jones' first season.
Stocstill also would have been a redshirt senior who had appeared in 27 games after beginning his career as a walk-on for the Vols out of high school in Lewisburg.
Rochelle would have been a redshirt-junior; he made only three career appearances. Most notably, Rochell was one of two then-Tennessee football players, along with current senior linebacker Kenny Bynum, who spent most of May studying abroad.
I hate it for Cody Blanc. Injuries were an issue.
