Episode 98: Trey Smith, Bama Butch, etc.

GoVols247's Wes Rucker, Ryan Callahan and Patrick Brown went into Fort Rucker Studio to break down another surprisingly busy week of news for the Tennessee football program. Sophomore-to-be offensive lineman Trey Smith — arguably the Vols' best player — is facing an uncertain future because of a newly-discovered (but unspecified) health situation, throwing another large wrench into the rebuilding efforts of new head coach Jeremy Pruitt and his staff. We break down the latest on what we know regarding Smith's situation, and the impact that losing him for any period of time would do to Tennessee's offensive line. That's the biggest news of the week, but it's far from the only interesting news. Former Vols head coach and still-Neyland-Stadium-scoreboard star Butch Jones has surfaced as a potential candidate for an analyst position at archrival Alabama, and there's no way we could avoid discussing that. Tennessee's upcoming Junior Day for recruiting is also discussed in an episode that concludes with questions from GoVols247 subscribers and social-media followers.
