Two Tennessee players are out for Texas A&M game

Top rusher, backup quarterback to miss the regular season finale against the Aggies.

When Tennessee takes on Texas A&M today, the Vols will be without two players.

Tennessee will be without its leading rusher and a backup quarterback against the Aggies.

Vol Network reported that running back Eric Gray and quarterback Brian Maurer will miss the regular season finale against the Aggies due to COVID-19 concerns.

Gray is UT’s leading rusher and is also tied with wideout Josh Palmer as the Vols’ leading receiver. Both have 30 receptions in 2020.

Gray has rushed for 772 yards and four touchdowns on 157 carries. He has also caught a pair of touchdown passes.

Maurer is one of four quarterbacks that the Vols have used this season.

The sophomore, who hails from Ocala, Florida, has gone 2-for-6 through the air, amassing nine yards. He has rushed for 41 yards on five carries, including a key 22-yard run in Tennessee’s victory over Vanderbilt in Nashville last week.
