He would still have to sit out a year b/c he enrolled in a summer class at tenn.

You can be given a release and play right away at another school only if the coach signs it without restriction AND you haven't attended a class. Technically, you can enroll even, move into the dorm, but nothing is final until you go to that first class. The vols had a guy from Byrnes HS a few years back who moved up there, but then Kiffen left, so he moved out before his first class.
