Decision looming on Howard

Tennessee coach Butch Jones plans to make a decision on the status of Tennessee wide receiver Alton “Pig” Howard in the next couple of weeks, writes 247sports. “I’ve met with Alton a number of times, and we’ll have a decision in moving forward and how we’re moving forward in the next couple of weeks,” Jones said. Howard took a leave of absence, which was announced on March 4th, to “deal with some personal issues.” The junior caught 44 passes for 388 yards last season.
