Bryce Thompson’s suspension is just the latest blow to Tennessee’s defense

He’s one of the best — if not the best — players on the Vols defense. He led the team with three interceptions in 2018 and was named to the Freshman All-American team.

Over the summer, I posted a piece that discussed the most indispensable Vols on defense, and Bryce Thompson was number one. We also did a countdown of the most important players in an overall sense, and Thompson finished sixth on that list.

Well, Thompson was arrested this past Saturday night and charged with domestic assault. On Monday, Jeremy Pruitt announced that he will be suspended indefinitely for the incident.
