The Tennessee Volunteers have lost yet another member of their 2015 recruiting class as freshman tight end Kyle Oliver has left the football program and intends to transfer, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel.

The reason behind Oliver's dismissal involves "unspecified off-field issues." According to a Tennessee Highway Patrol report, Oliver was a passenger of the car which redshirt freshman Charles Mosley had been driving when he was pulled over for speeding and arrested. Officers reported the smell of marijuana coming from the car and charged Mosley with being under the influence of marijuana and speeding.
