Defensive lineman Emmit Gooden is no longer a part of the Tennessee football program. Gooden was arrested on Thursday afternoon. Gooden is facing a felony aggravated domestic assault charge stemming from an incident in the last 24 hours.
When reached for comment, a Tennessee spokesman said that head coach Jeremy Pruitt had dismissed Gooden from his program.
Gooden didn’t play in 2019 after suffering a torn ACL in pre-season practice. In 2018, Gooden recorded 33 tackles, 7 TFL’s, and a sack.
