Janzen Jackson Dismissed From Vols

Janzen Jackson's time on the Tennessee campus has always been somewhat checkered...

Two years ago, it was because of an attempted armed robbery charge. Back in February, he announced his intention to bolt, but returned to think he could play in July...

So much for that idea... Jackson is gone, done, and otherwise out the door...

ESPN's Chris Low is sayingthat Jackson has fialed multiple drug tests during his tenure...

Coach Derek Dooley said in a release...

"Our program has devoted a tremendous amount of energy, resources, support, and care in an effort to help Janzen manage his personal challenges. I will always be there to help him as a person, but there comes a time when a player's actions preclude him from the privilege of playing for the University of Tennessee football team.

"Although I'm disappointed with this outcome, we will never compromise the long-term organizational values and goals we maintain here at Tennessee,"
Dooley said.

Dooley even talked about Jackson at practice...
Yesterday...
