KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Tennessee has received a major boost on each side of the line of scrimmage just in time for the start of the season.
Volunteers coach Jeremy Pruitt has announced that offensive tackle Trey Smith has gained medical clearance to play this year and that defensive lineman Aubrey Solomon has received an NCAA waiver enabling the Michigan transfer to play for his new team immediately.
Both players should be available Saturday when Tennessee hosts Georgia State.
Smith started Tennessee’s first seven games last year but missed the rest of the season after blood clots were discovered in his lungs. Smith says he consulted with ”several of the best doctors in the country” and a plan was formulated that will allow him to play.
Tennessee isn’t specifying any details of that plan.
Solomon, a former five-star recruit, played five games and made six tackles for Michigan while struggling with injuries last season.
