A healthy Brandon Kennedy and Trey Smith could conceivably change the whole dynamic of the Vols Oline and make it a better than average SEC Oline
It’s not like they would allow him to play on anticoagulants. He would be off them. Thing is that puts him at higher risk for clots.If I were Trey's father, I'd do anything and everything humanly possible to keep him off the field. This isn't like a son going off to war or fighting cancer. This is something he can avoid. Walk away. Live a long, happy life and have a family. Bury your parents not the other way around.

It’s not his decision. He has to be medically cleared.My gut tells me he's going to give it a go. If he was my son, I'd tell him it would be his call, but my prayer life would increase ten fold.

This idea that trey can will himself to health is nonsense. The idea that a lay person can’t understand this medical condition is also nonsense. Trey’s type of condition is well documented and while clots can be the result of isolated conditions, this appears to be chronic.
Obviously the university won't take on the liability of him not being cleared medically. Faith and belief are hardly nonsense. He may be the anomaly, time will tell.It’s not his decision. He has to be medically cleared.

Agreed. I wish nothing but the best for the young man, but I think him playing again is wishful thinking.I am not optimistic about him returning. Being in good shape has nothing to do with his condition with blood clots and the fact that he has been kept out of contact drills indicates that he is still on blood thinners.

That can also be genetic. My wife looks at a corner wrong and bruises. Her mom is the same way. I'm was on eliquis, the 81 aspirin, and Losartin, I don't bruise at all."blood thinners"
I take blood pressure and an "81" aspirin pill and every time I bump an arm, I bruise. I have been told "you better be glad you are not on a blood thinner" by folks I know taking them. Now, what will the effect or impact on Trey be getting banged around in the game of football?
Has nothing to do with the fan base. He is out there because there is a chance he plays. If there were no chance of him playing this fall he wouldn't sniff the facilities at UT due to liability reasons.I don't think Jeremy Pruitt would have phrased it the way he did if he thought that Trey couldn't play. It would be unnecessary to say it that way if all signs didn't point to him being able to play, because it you disappoint the fan base.
