My mistake; Penix was committed to the Vols but Jeremy Pruitt pulled the offer.Tennessee transfer?
It’s Pruitt’s first time as a college head coach, and calling the 11 players who were committed to Tennessee at the time was almost certainly one of the first things on his to-do list. Sure enough, Pruitt called Penix last week to tell the quarterback he was honoring his commitment.
That changed Wednesday, when Penix received a text asking him to call the UT football office. Penix said that when he made the call, new offensive coordinator Ty Helton told him not to come on the official visit to Knoxville that had been planned months earlier.
Apparently, the Vols had another pro-style quarterback they were bringing in to visit.
