Kenny Solomon on the track

I think they burnt his redshirt by using him on special teams. I thought I saw something where he played in all 11 games. That's one area where he can use his speed. Looking at his recruiting bio it says he was runner-up in South Carolina's 5A 100 meter finals but then says his 40 time is in the high 4.5's.

Pruitt may letting him do this for a couple of reasons, getting his quickness improved and showing recruits he'll let them run track. Fulmer never particularly liked the 2 sport thing, Dooley didn't like anything that might help the team, and Butch, well honestly, I still don't know what Butch liked.

Butch liked watches and shoe lifts.

Freshman in 2019, walk-on who earned a scholly during the season, DB, played in 11 games abd had a pick vs UTC last year in the end zone.

Perhaps I'm a bit naïve or just plain ignorant... but I don't view this as a situation where Pruitt would be "letting him do" anything. This kid may have a better shot at having a career in track than in football, so maybe the T&F coach is "letting him" play football? Or maybe both coaches realize their team is better with him than without him and they'll accept all the athletes they can get.
