Tennessee football: Jeremy Banks officially reinstated

KNOXVILLE — The University of Tennessee kicked off fall training camp Monday.

Tennessee officially announced the reinstatement of Jeremy Banks to its football team.

Banks has played 15 games in two seasons (2018-19) for the Vols. His 2019 campaign came to an end in early October when Jeremy Pruitt dismissed the sophomore linebacker from Tennessee’s football program.

The Cordova, Tenn. native can provide versatility for the Vols’ defense this season. He can contribute at the MACK and WILL linebacker positions, as well as at MONEY.

The Vols will open the 2020 season at South Carolina on Sept. 26. Tennessee defeated South Carolina, 41-21, at Neyland Stadium last season.
