Jeremy Pruitt was full of news in his first zoom meeting with the media on Monday. After revealing that Cade Mays had his immediate eligibility request denied by the NCAA and telling us that Jeremy Banks had rejoined the program, he announced that senior defensive back Baylen Buchanan would not play in 2020.

“Baylen Buchanan is going to sit out this season, based off of a medical issue that he’s continued to work on,” Pruitt announced. “He’s showed a lot of improvement there, and he’s going to continue to work hard to get better there, but he’s not gonna play this season.
