Tennessee wide receiver Jauan Jennings dismissed from team

Hoke said in a statement "Representing the University of Tennessee football program is a privilege."

Junior wide receiver Jauan Jennings has been dismissed from the Tennessee football program, according to a statement from Interim Head Coach Brady Hoke.

"In consultation with Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics John Currie," Hoke said, "I have made the decision to dismiss Jauan Jennings from our program."

Tennessee Volunteers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (15) catches a game winning touchdown pass in front of Georgia Bulldogs safety Dominick Sanders (24) on the last play of the game during the fourth quarter at Sanford Stadium on Oct. 1, 2016.

This came after the wide receiver posted a profanity-laced rant on Instagram, showing displeasure with the coaching staff.

"Representing the University of Tennessee football program is a privilege," Hoke concluded.

Jennings injured his wrist during the Vols' first game of the season, and has not played since.
