Former Florida State tight end Naseir Upshur took to Twitter Tuesday and discussed his attempt to join the Tennessee Volunteers’ football program.
Upshur, who was planning on walking on at Tennessee, said UT Director of Athletics Phillip Fulmer prevented him from joining the program.
“I got accepted to Tennessee was gone walk on for a semester was excited for my second chance,” the former Florida State tight end said on Twitter. “Got there and the athletic director said he heard I was a bad kid and couldn’t take me! Nobody can vouch that ima a bad kid, I brought life to FSU everyday!”
