Sources tell Volquest.com that Kennedy is expected to take part in second session or July term summer school at Tennessee and is already in Knoxville around the program. Additionally, sources tell Volquest that Kennedy chose a grad school program that isn't offered at Alabama, which helped his case to make the move within the conference before the SEC amended its grad transfer rule on June 1.
The 6-foot-3, 300-pound redshirt sophomore has two years of eligibility remaining and will immediately compete for a guard or center spot on Tennessee’s starting offensive line in the fall. Kennedy missed most of the 2017 season with a leg injury, but was healthy this spring and served as Alabama’s backup center. He played in seven games as a reserve in 2016.
Kennedy chose Tennessee over Auburn after a well-publicized debate on the SEC’s grad transfer rule last month. During the spring meetings in Destin, Fla., the league’s coaches ultimately voted to amend the grad transfer rule requiring players to sit out a full year if transferring in conference. The change immediately opened the door for Kennedy to come to Tennessee, as the former 4-star prospect no longer needed a release or waiver after previously being blocked by Alabama from having contact with SEC schools.
YUGE get for us.

Idk how you get a degree in 3 years but it's impressive.

I predict that with the new transfer rules it will cease being so easy.

I fear that may be an unintended consequence. Hopefully not (regardless of how you feel about the rule).

Take a full load, enroll early and take classes over the summer. In a lot of programs that isn't that difficult.

Average degree takes about 120 hours to get so to do it in 3 years you either have to take 20 hours a semester or take some summer classes all while being a member of Nick Saban's death camp. So like I said idk how he got a degree in 3 years but it's impressive.

Pruitt tampered.

So since I assume he is pretty much assured to get a starting spot, which spot on the line is he most likely to get?

AP class credit from high school, not totally unreasonable to think some folks already basically have a semester knocked out when they enroll in college if they took a handful of AP classes and passed the tests in high school

You know they offer classes in the summer right?

Like a drop of perfume on a pile of shite.

not to mention most schools offer a Maymester, usually 3 credit hours for a few hours a week for 1 month. Hell knock out a few of those that's 6 hours, take another easy summer (June/July) class for another 3 hours and you've alreadyd knocked out 18 hours over 2 summers.

Those classes are GPA builders for most college students. My guess is very few athletes get credit for those AP classes.

Likely center.

Oh yeah it's totally easy and do it while being the backup center for Nick Saban's death squad which only requires a little bit of your daily life.

True, the oline, outside of Trey Smith, is still a shite sandwich, but at least it's not a soggy one anymore.

Don’t think he said it’s totally easy, but it’s absolitely doable. There’s only a certain amount of hours they’re allowed to workout/practice per week. Plenty of time for schoolwork.

Good get. This is the reason why all these early predictions are worthless. You don't know who's on the squad until July. This certainly upgrades the VOLs overall as a contender for 4th place in the east. frick the VOLs.
