You are Locked on Balls, your daily podcast on the Tennessee Volunteers, part of the

Locked on podcast network, your team every day.

Welcome in to Locked on Balls, your team every day. My name is Josh Ward. Thank you for

being here on today's show. Today's show will begin with news of a player

deciding to leave the program. It's a player that arrived at Tennessee with big time expectations,

a lot of accolades, and now he's leaving Tennessee, having not accomplished what he wanted to,

and now Tennessee might have to figure out what it's going to do to replace him.

That's Juan Ye Morris. The former five-star offensive lineman has entered the transfer portal and

it does not look like he will return to Tennessee. Nothing is for sure, but the expectation right

now is that Morris will leave the program. I'm going to take a look at the 2019 class. That was the

first full class that Jeremy Pruitt signed.

To this point, honestly, I think it's been a massive disappointment,

and I think it creates some of the biggest concern about where things are right now

with the program moving forward.

I know that's probably not what you're looking to start the show with,

but I'm going to look at that here in segment number one. And then in the second and third segments of the show, I'm going to talk to Eric

Kane, who covers Tennessee for the sports animal. It's a former college linebacker himself,

and we'll talk about some of the personnel on defense. What stands out for the Vols, as they have to

replace Bryce Thompson. They do get Matthew Butler back on the defensive line. And then we'll talk about the offense, including the offensive line, which now will be without

Wanye Morris.

We will do that on today's show.

Locked on Valls, it's here five days a week.
