Summary
GoVols247’s Wes Rucker (from the Fort Rucker Studio) and Patrick Brown (from the other side of town) convened through the magic of Al Gore’s Internets to discuss Tuesday’s breaking news that Michigan defensive line transfer Aubrey Solomon was ruled eligible to play this season at Tennessee.
Solomon — the nation’s No. 23 overall prospect in the 2017 industry-generated 247Sports Composite — made headlines in January after his surprise decision to transfer from Michigan to Tennessee, and the Vols hoped the Georgia native would be ruled eligible to play this season.
It took longer than Tennessee hoped, but the Vols ultimately got the news they wanted. Solomon is likely a starter in Saturday’s season opener against Georgia State.
Solomon’s eligibility ruling and its impact on Tennessee’s 2019 season is the sole focus of quick breaking-news episode.

| 0:00.0 | Alright. What's up y'all? |
| 0:13.0 | West Rucker Patrick Brown coming to you on a Tuesday evening from Knoxville, Tennessee |
| 0:18.1 | and as you can tell by the intro it is a breaking news podcast joined now by Patrick Brown and Pat it seems like we've had |
| 0:26.4 | some of these breaking news podcast lately it hasn't been great news for Tennessee |
| 0:29.6 | this one's much much better for Tennessee. Yes, it is, West. |
| 0:34.0 | Finally, the long off-season summer saga is over Aubrey Salomon, the Michigan transfer likely |
| 0:40.8 | starter on Tennessee's defensive line has gotten the green light from the NCA. |
| 0:44.2 | He will be eligible to play this season after transferring. |
| 0:48.1 | And this is obviously a huge boost for Tennessee because this is a guy like I said that that's probably going to be in the starting lineup on |
| 0:54.7 | on Saturday against Georgia State. Yeah and this is a guy who again you know if if you were to |
| 1:01.6 | to talk about just how big that Emmett Gooden loss was, I think this is almost just as big of an addition as that was a loss. |
| 1:08.0 | That's how big of a deal this is for Tennessee. |
| 1:10.0 | And it seems like recently the Vaws have been getting some bad |
| 1:12.8 | breaks in this way. You had Emmett Gooden go down with his season ending a celterre just |
| 1:17.5 | a early-on pre-season camp. Then you also had a deal with Bryce Thompson that we've talked about a lot earlier this week. |
| 1:24.1 | You got a podcast you can go to earlier this week to check that out and then hear about |
| 1:28.4 | Daniel Batoulli with his knee procedure and it looks like he might miss the opening game too so Tennessee was |
| 1:34.3 | arguably without its best offender at each level of the defense so getting a guy |
| 1:39.0 | like Solomon a guy who was a really good prospect when he got to Michigan, a guy who contributed early with |
| 1:44.0 | the Wolverines, getting him back is just huge news. |
| 1:47.6 | Yeah, and in light of the good and injury, it was almost a must for Tennessee, just because |
