4-star Tennessee signee announces he has entered the NCAA transfer portal
The more time that goes on, the less likely it looks like Cody Brown or Dylan Brooks will ever suit up for Tennessee.
Both players signed with the Volunteers during the latest Early Signing Period, but back then, Jeremy Pruitt was still the head coach on Rocky Top.
Following Pruitt’s dismissal and the hiring of Josh Heupel, both Brown and Brooks continue to explore their options elsewhere.
In fact, on Wednesday morning, Brown announced he plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal. The Parkview High School standout from Lilburn, Ga., has yet to enroll at Tennessee as he was not an early enrollee.
“Thank you to the Tennessee coaches and staff that recruited me and made me a part of their family. Most of all, thank you Vol Nation for the support and love you have given me throughout my commitment. After a lot of thought and consideration, my family and I have decided that it would be best for me to reevaluate my options and put my name into the transfer portal. Please respect my decision.”
After issuing this statement, Brown clarified that Tennessee has already released him from his National Letter of Intent.
The four-star Georgia native is rated as the No. 10 running back prospect in the nation and a top 250 overall prospect in the 2021 recruiting cycle by 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Not long after Brown issued his statement on Wednesday morning, Brooks shared the simple message of “Free me,” on Twitter.
Brooks was the highest-rated signee in Tennessee’s 2021 recruiting class.
And the hits just keep on coming from Rocky Flop!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
@Corch – It is getting tiresome – Most real Tennessee fans are well aware of their problems – it has been going on so long now — Give it a rest – try trolling something else for a change (from a REAL UGA grad, not a hanger-on “fan”)
Franklin College of Arts and Sciences 2012, beeyotch.
that figures. But why did you need a degree to toss fries.
Even his family cant stand to have him around.
Come on 900, you think the UT fans would have given us any peace had this site been up in the 1990s? How about the Florida fans during the reign of Spurrier and Meyer? I was just going to ask if Cade Mays had hit the exits again?
correction: 90Dawg,it’s tough without glasses some time!
Honestly, in the 90’s we wouldn’t have thought enough of you to troll you lol.
Cade family loves Tennessee. He found out grass is not always greener on the other side. This transfer portal has ruined college football IMO. These kids are free agents more or less to the highest bidder. And yeah all of them get paid don’t say Jawja doesn’t do it.
The transfer portal is the least if the viles problems. You better hope the your football program doesn’t face a future that the death penalty for a year or two would be preferable.
Money is the name of the game. Same reason Bama doesn’t get suspended or investigated. Brings NCAA and SEC a ton of money. Old tricky tested positive what 3 times for Covid 19 and majically was oked to coach the game. Not happening with anyone else. Plus they knew Bama was going to NC game. Money makes things better.
@90Dawg……….. READ ALL!!!! I know you didn’t say anything to me. But this ain’t Biden’s board of best friends. Whether or not you graduated from Georgia. What right do you have to tell Corch or anyone what to do?
I DIDN’T GRADUATE FROM UGA! But ill bet you I was rooting for the team before you were born!!! If that 90 next to your name is your birthday. Then I KNOW I HAVE!!!! I’m a real Georgia fan and I think Corch is to.
Yea so he is trash talking. Do you honestly believe if the shoe was on the other foot. That these guys wouldn’t be poking us every day???? For your info. Some of us don’t particularly root for or like Tennessee.
MANY TENNESSEE FANS MADE HUGE POSTERS. POKING FUN OF NICK CHUBB’s INJURY! At the hands of TENNESSEE!!!! Under the TOP RAT BUTCH JONES!!!! THEY WERE ALLOWED TO HANG THEM IN THE STADIUM AT GAME TIME AND DID!!!!!
Now before you say anything STUPID. Maybe you need to just rewind a bit, THIS SEASON! Back when Tennessee was on that little win streak. THEIR FANS WERE MAKING VIDEOS. CALLING GEORGIA FANS MOTHERF?????S POKING FUN OF US. QUESTIONING OUR INTELLIGENCE. COMING FROM THEM THAT IS FUNNY!!!
AND TELLING US THAT HELL WAS COMING TO ATHENS!!!
BACK WHEN TENNESSEE HAD THE #1 2021 RECRUITING CLASS IN THE SEC. YOU COULDN’T STOP THEIR MOUTH IF YOU HAD STAPLES!!! Back when UGA was about 50TH! They thought their 3 star DYNASTY CLASS. WAS JUST THE BEGINNING!!!! THEY RAN THEIR MOUTH ON HERE DAY AND NIGHT!!! They didn’t bother with Florida or anyone else like they did UGA!!!! I warned them then. That UGA would finish TOP 5 OR ABOVE AND PRUITT MIGHT GET FIRED. THAT THEY WOULD BE LUCKY TO FINISH THE CLASS IN THE TOP 15 OR 20!!!! WHO WAS RIGHT????
Anyway, this board is setup for trash talk!!! What else do you do as a fan? YOU’RE KISSING UP TO THEM NOW MORE THAN YOUR OWN FAN BASE. SO IN MY BOOK YOU ARE A TRAITOR!!!!! CORCH FEEL FREE TO DO SOME MORE TRASH TALK!!! GET IT IN GOOD!!!!!
Because if Tennessee ever gets this figured out. No Georgia fan will ever get a rest should they win!!!!! CORCH IS OKAY. OTHER UGA FANS. NEED TO GET OUT OF BED WITH OUR RIVALS AND LEARN WHO YOU ARE!!!!! They support you for calling down Georgia fans. WHILE THEY ALL SAY….F?CK GEORGIA!!!!!
PS. NO THAT AIN’T GOING TO FLY AROUND ME!!!!!

Thanks for the insightful (note the sarcasm) words. Here’s a tissue.
I was going to read this post but decided to knock out War and Peace to save time.
oh look, the georgia inbred is back
Guess this thing never happens at Jawja huh. How is Justin Fields at QB working out for y’all?
good to see Tennessee’s biggest fan as the first poster on a new thread about the Vols.
He has more interest in Tennessee than his own screen name obsession… Corch, Urban is in the NFL with the Jags and has been for some time now.
*Awaiting Corch’s retort mentioning Hillbillies in 3-2-1…
This “Corch” person must be a “hanger-on” fan. He is an embarrassment not only to himself but to REAL SEC grads and fans.
Good try 90Vol. Oops I mean 90Dawg…
Exactly Sabanswig.
90Dawg……….I think your dog is named SMOKEY!!!! Now it makes more since. Oh and KIMSEY. WHAT KIND OF NAME IS KIMSEY???? Same with BryandChip!!!
PS. Sounds like a drag queen strip bar just let out on rocky flop! LOL

So the Brown kid was released and the Brooks kid can’t get a release? The Brooks kid is starting to hate Tennessee for this! Release him, good grief…..they want to keep him because he’s higher rated lol
where did you read that? he, like Cody was asked to meet the new DC and coaches first and then decide. If he wants out he will be released. I dont expect him to stay but Huepel is not dumb enough to refuse to release a kid after the coaching change and looming sanctions… Geez horsey…
DUDE. You have no clue what you’re talking about. Go talk to Brooks right now. The ones close to him say he’s been waiting on a release for a while. And Heupel is keeping him on a string.
Aubie, its smart to do that.. That is smart because many times, once a staff is put together it gives them time to make a more informed decision.
Also Dylan Brooks *deleted his longstanding (Late Jan) “Free Me” tweet today, not *tweeted it.
Who said Brooks could not get a release? Or are we just making this up as we go?
Brooks is waiting to see what is what before he makes a final decision. Many are.. The media does not tell you this.
Who said the didn’t already release Brooks also. Funny how Brown didn’t say he had been released until after he informed us he was in the portal.
He has no right to be released. He accepted cash to go there. He is just as guilty. Now that the cash has dried up he wants out?? Laughable. He should have to serve day for day in prison aka Knoxville Rocky Flop TN
And Bama doesn’t pay their players…lol. Yeah ok. Go ride thru U of A football facilities at these nonpaid kids cars and come back and talk.
Even with Brown and Brooks leaving Tennessee STILL out recruited MIZZOU this year.
I hope someone can explain this. Brown has not entered school and he has been released so why does he go into the portal. I thought the portal was for players already in school and on the team. Neither would be the case here. Shouldn’t he just reopen his recruitment.
Well, Missouri fan, have you seen UT’s recruiting budget, compared to Mizzous? They should out recruit them and by a large margin.
Also, UT fans bring it on themselves. Look how obnoxious they were over the summer and into the fall. “We have the best offensive line in the country.” “The Vols have won 8 in a row, dating back to last year.” Said a zillion times. And guess what, by the start of fall, they will be pumping sunshine again. With that pathetic out of conference schedule, I can hear it now. “Look at the improvement from last season…blah blah blah.”
Payola not received ?
His McDonald’s bag had a burger and fries in it.
“Hey, where’s my Happy Meal prize?!?!?”
How is this going to work out with so many players in the transfer portal and most teams not having room to add anyone else. There might be a lot of players left out in the cold.
3 scholarship RBs on the Plains. Come to Auburn Cody.
In 2-3 seasons AU will be lucky if they aren’t the SECW cellar dweller.
It’s a given you’ll be behind Bama, LSU, TAMU and Ole Miss.
The question is can AU stay ahead of Ark and Miss St?
With Pittman at Ark the money is on Ark. So, who will run the better program – Mike Leech or whoever that was AU hired, and his SEC re-run assistants.
AU = the new UT
Wishful thinking from a fan of a football team that hasn’t won a national championship in 4 decades.
Lol
When your football team sucks and is owned by UGA and Kirby Smart then babble about 1980.
If you’ve heard one dumbaass on SDS you’ve heard them all.
But thanks for letting me know I hit a nerve.
You’re a troll and an embarrassment to the UGA fan base. Why get so heated when I make a comment as simple as that? And just wait. Just wait. The Dawgs come to Jordan Hare this year. And the players are sick of losing to Georgia. Can’t wait to ruin your weak playoff hopes in October.
you say that as if Auburn didn’t have to PAY Tim tebow’s delinquent understudy dropout from Florida to win that national championship…
It’s funny that all Georgia has to boast about is beating Auburn. Oh…and being preseason champs every year. How long is Bowl Cut going to last when Mullen makes him his whipping boy every year?
College football these days is totally different from 20-30 years ago. Even 10 years ago. If things don’t go right, jump ship. Kids look at this as a business, not a education. Most these kids are not thinking education, they all believe they can go to the NFL. That’s the sad part. I don’t know why we make such a big deal when a kid signs, the next year goes somewhere else.
That’s exactly why I’m perfectly happy with my schools new coaching staff and the players they brought in this year (eight transfers )everyone’s hungry and everyone wants to be there.
Fans turned it into a business by dumping so much money into it. Coaches getting paid millions was the catalyst.
Was like that 20 years ago. Culture changed. It’s all about me,me,me. First it starts with their signing day and a big show on social media. Then on from there. Social media has ruined life IMO.
You can bet the utk fans would be piling on UGA if it was the dumpster fire Hillbilly High is right now and has been the last 20 years. Also you’re right about Pinky Mays family, the grass is not always greener on the other side. Karma is a B!%*h!
Auburn University, Harrison School of Pharmacy, 1998
I used to hang out with Harrison. That guy made the best LSD on campus. He also had the best mushrooms.
LMAO Balkwyll.
That pic they have for the click thru to this article… Isn’t that the new UT coach? Looks like he may be closely related to Ronald Mac. LMAO.
