Tennessee<\/a> wide receiver Chris Brazzell <\/a>was reportedly arrested for driving with a suspended license, per Knox News<\/a>. Adam Sparks reported it was for that charge, as well as speeding and is scheduled to appear in court August 20th.<\/p>\n

Police reportedly clocked Brazzell driving 60 mph in a 35 mph zone near the Tennessee campus. Brazzell allegedly handed over his US Passport but told officers he did not have his license with him.<\/p>\n

However, his license was suspended due to an incident last summer. Brazzell failed to appear in court in Blount County on August 15th, 2024, per the report. He was placed under arrest due to the history of not appearing in court.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are aware of the traffic stop involving Chris Brazzell II and have no further comment at this time,\u201d a Tennessee spokesperson told Knox News. As far as internal punishment from the program, that is to-be-determined.<\/p>\n

Brazzell is the top returning wide receiver for the Vols this coming season. He reeled in 29 catches, 333 yards and two touchdowns last season. He also had the game-winning touchdown vs. Alabama<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n

However, Brazzell hasn\u2019t been a full participant in practice during fall camp due to rehab of an unspecified injury. It is unclear when he\u2019ll be full-go ahead of the 2025 regular season.<\/p>\n

The 2024 campaign was the first for Brazzell in a Tennessee uniform. He spent the 2022 and \u201923 seasons with Tulane<\/a> before transferring. Overall, he has 74 catches, 1,055 yards, seven touchdowns and 14.3 yards per catch in three years.<\/p>\n

As a member of the Class of 2022, Brazzell was a three-star recruit out of Midland (Texas) Christian, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking<\/a>. He was the No. 167 overall prospect in the state, the No. 165 wide receiver in the class and the No. 1,134 overall prospect in the class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tennessee wide receiver Chris Brazzell was reportedly arrested for driving with a suspended license, per Knox News.
