Tennessee WR Chris Brazzell Arrested Suspended License Speeding Knoxville

Tennessee junior wide receiver Chris Brazzell was arrested on August 8 for driving with a suspended license and speeding, having been pulled over for driving 60 mph in a 35 mph zone near the Volunteers campus. Brazzell's license was suspended due to a failure to appear in court in Blount County on August 15, 2024, and he showed the officer his passport instead of a driver's license during the traffic stop. He is scheduled to appear in court on August 20 and has a history of not appearing for court, which contributed to his arrest. Brazzell, Tennessee's top returning receiver, had 29 catches for 333 yards and two touchdowns last season, including a game-winning touchdown against Alabama, but has not been a full participant in fall camp due to an unspecified injury. His status for the upcoming season opener is uncertain amid the arrest and injury concerns, and the team has not commented on potential disciplinary actions. Tennessee currently has limited experienced wide receivers available, making Brazzell's availability critical for the Volunteers.
