Jeremy Pruitt and the Tennessee football Volunteers under-utilized the wide receiver.
After taking a redshirt in 2019 so he would have a year to prove himself in 2020, Tennessee football wide receiver Brandon Johnson was never able to get fully into a rhythm. Now, the fifth-year senior is transferring and will have another year of eligibility left.
Given the commitment he showed to the program through two head coaches and being demoted in the depth chart, the cousin of former NFL great Chad Johnson deserved much better.
