The Tennessee Volunteers are parting way with a $2 million transfer before he ever played a game for the program.
Penn State transfer Chaz Coleman is leaving Tennessee, according to multiple reports. Pete Nakos and Chris Low of On3 reported that Coleman has been “medically disqualified.”
“Chaz has been dealing with some things, and we’re here to support him,” Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel told On3 on Wednesday. “We’ll continue to go through that process.”
Coleman has dealt with homesickness and the pressure of the financial investment in him since April, which manifested as physical symptoms, according to Chris Hummer of CBS Sports. He also had issues with tardiness and engagement levels, though the team attributed most of these issues to an off-field situation.
