Tennessee Vols morning report: Ryan Thaxton dismissed, Brant Lawless released

SEC Media Days is now in the rearview mirror, and the beginning of the preseason is right around the corner for the Tennessee Vols. But the limbo period between that begins with some unfortunate news on Monday.

As we get set to bring you today’s updates on Rocky Top, a current player being dismissed and an incoming recruit being granted a release take the lead. On top of that, there is a rape trial set to begin for multiple former Vols.

So yes, there’s lots of bad news. The final update, though, is at least a feel-good story of another former Vol back in Tennessee.
