Adding fuel to the recent media fire the NFL has endured over the past few weeks regarding domestic violence, Tennessee running back Treyvon Paulk was dismissed from the team after allegedly punching his ex-girlfriend at a party.
According to Knox County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Martha Dooley, Paulk was not arrested because the woman declined to press charges.
Head coach Butch Jones did not dive any to any details regarding the matter but did confirm Paulk was no longer part of the program.
The freshman running back did not appear in the Volunteers’ first three games. He was a three-star prospect from Alpharetta, Georgia according to the major recruiting services.
Tennessee (2-1, 0-0) opens up SEC play and is looking to pull of the upset this upcoming Saturday against (12) Georgia (3-1, 0-1).
