KNOXVILLE — The movement on Tennessee’s roster wasn’t limited to the players the Volunteers signed as part of their 2015 recruiting class on Wednesday.
Amid rampant recent speculation, Tennessee coach Butch Jones confirmed receivers Ryan Jenkins and Vic Wharton are looking into possible transfers, with their futures with the Vols in limbo.
Jones also confirmed rising sophomore defensive Michael Sawyers has been dismissed from the program for what he called “violations of athletic and team policies.”
Jenkins and Wharton were reserve receivers who saw their playing time increased at the end of the 2014 season as Tennessee was decimated by injuries.
“They’ve asked to explore other options, so we have granted them the opportunity to explore other options. We’ll see how that goes. We’ll see where that goes with those two individuals.”
