The NCAA has denied the immediate eligibility request of former Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Cade Mays. Mays is trying to play this season in Knoxville with the Tennessee Volunteers.
Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt stated that the school plans to appeal the NCAA’s decision.
Mays, who committed to UGA as a five-star recruit in the class of 2018, announced his intentions to transfer to Tennessee and play for the Vols following Georgia’s Sugar Bowl victory over Baylor. Mays is from Knoxville and has a brother, Cooper, who plays for the Vols.
ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas spoke out regarding the denial of Mays’ transfer request.
