wide receiver Von Pearson’s suspension has been officially lifted by the University of Tennessee and its football program. On April 24 of this year, Pearson was named as the sole suspect in a sexual assault investigation by the Knox County District Attorney’s Office. Subsequently, Pearson was immediately suspended indefinitely from school and the football team. It was announced on Wednesday, by Knox County District Attorney General Charme Allen, that Pearson would not be charged with the alleged crime in question due to insufficient evidence.
