KNOXVILLE — The Southeastern Conference announced that Tennessee redshirt senior wide receiver Jauan Jennings has been suspended for the first half of the Vols’ bowl game.
The suspension stems from Jennings being involved in an altercation with an opposing player (against Vanderbilt) in which he committed a flagrant personal foul determined by a video review by the conference office.
Following the announcement, Tennessee Director of Athletics Phillip Fulmer responded to the SEC’s decision.
“Commissioner (Greg) Sankey shared his perspective on the actions in question, we had a long conversation about the matter, and we will honor the suspension,” Fulmer said in a statement released by the University of Tennessee. “Jauan has been nothing but outstanding for our team and program this entire season.”
