Jeremy Pruitt explains how Tennessee DB Bryce Thompson ended up with No. 0 jersey
For his Tennessee career to this point, DB Bryce Thompson has worn the No. 20 jersey. This year, though, he’ll ditch the 2 and just go with the No. 0 jersey.
This is the first year the SEC is allowing players to wear that number on their jerseys, so a number of players have made the switch.
On Thursday, coach Jeremy Pruitt explained how Thompson ended up with the number, saying there wasn’t much interest in it outside of Thompson and a freshman:
Jeremy Pruitt on Bryce Thompson wearing No. 0: "He asked me and there was only one other player that asked and he was a freshman so Bryce got it."

Thompson has recorded 64 tackles and 6 interceptions during his 2 seasons with the Vols, so his on-field production is certainly worthy of whatever number he wants to wear.
Now, we’ll have to see if he can live up to the No. 0 and allow 0 touchdown passes this fall!
Didn’t he have three picks in one game last year?
He also threatened to shoot up the school. Along with wanna be cop killer Banks, Tennessee is showing to be a great school.
Shot
This is so rich coming from a gator. Bahahahahaha
Remind me who on the Florida’s team has threatened to kill police or to kill people at school. Everybody talks about Hernandez but he stared killing people when he went to the NFL. Everything that happened at Florida were simply signs of a violent person but was never found guilty. Look if you want to defend Pruitt by deflecting then that’s your choice, I mean liberals have a different point of view than true Americans that think people should be held responsible for their actions. Have a good day burning American flags.
Condemning Aaron Hernandez is now equivalent to flag burning lol
You are too dumb to argue with.
Why are you supporting anti-police Gators and coaches? Trask, Mullen, and several others players have spoken in favor or BLM. BLM supporters have called to harm police. By extension-you can no longer support these UF players and coaches under your own standard. Are you joining your team’s players and coaches in taking a stand (or knee, rather)?
Trask has never said anything to support the BLM movement. He has said the same generic crap that every other white person in Sports feels the need to say.” I support me team mates, we have to do better, blah blah blah. Get the facts before you come at me with your weak sh)t
He literally tweeted the BLM logo on 8/28 at 7:51 am. For the uneducated swamp redneck-this is what is called a fact. Why are you supporting players who support organizations that openly call for cops to be harmed. Either denounce Trask or admit you’re a hypocrite who supports flag burning marxists organizations. Grow a pair and own up, boy.
I find it comical, your first comment was grammatically correct, then you correct yourself with the wrong verb. Leave it to this guy…
The kid is obviously troubled. Hope he gets straightened out.
Before his off field issues came up, it was a bummer that he failed to academically qualify at USC, so he went to UT instead.
Yeah. Bummer for sure. Glad he came to UTK. I’m sure he’s enjoyed spanking USC last season after losing in his Freshman year. Best of 3…
