He’ll head to the JUCO ranks.
A former top prospect from the class of 2023 is no longer with the Tennessee football program. Chandavian Bradley, who at one point was a five-star prospect, has opted to head to the JUCO ranks ahead of the 2024 season. Bradley redshirted last season and did not appear in a game last year.

In the final 2023 class rankings at 247Sports, Bradley ended as a four-star prospect who ranked 166th overall. The Platte County, Missouri native will now reportedly head to Hutchinson Community College in Kansas, where he would be immediately eligible to play.
Bradley was facing an uphill climb for playing time this fall, sitting behind James Pearce, Joshua Josephs and Caleb Herring. Five-star true freshman Jordan Ross will also enter the picture once camp begins.
Bradley also ran into some off-field trouble this offseason, where he was cited for reckless driving on campus, according to a University of Tennessee police report.
During his recruitment, Bradley chose Tennessee over Texas A&M and South Carolina. The Vols also held off a late push from Deion Sanders and Colorado.
Bradley will have four years of eligibility remaining.
