Tennessee football: Vols should give VanDarius Cowan a second chance

The former four-star linebacker in the 2017 class, VanDarius Cowan is no longer a part of the Alabama Crimson Tide football program. He was dismissed earlier this week due to a violation of team rules.

Cowan was also arrested and charged with third-degree assault following an incident last month at a bar in Tuscaloosa. Oh, and there are the academic problems.

However, why should Tennessee football not take a chance on Cowan? It’s quite honestly the perfect situation in many ways.

1. Jeremy Pruitt came from Alabama too

We all know that first-year head coach used to be the defensive coordinator at Alabama.
