Former Wichita East standout Bryce Brown announced he would attend the University of Tennessee on March 16, 2009.
New Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley addressed the status of former Wichita East standout Bryce Brown in one of his first questions at SEC Media Days on Friday.
"You want to start with Bryce Brown?" Dooley said, according to GoVolsExtra.com. "Here's the latest on Bryce, I have not met with Bryce. I'll promise you, I haven't met with him. There's nothing new, which shocks you, I know.
"He was in town, but I did not see him. I think he was coming in when I was leaving. I anticipate us talking before he leaves town. I don't expect -- I feel the same way I felt since the day he left, that he's not a part of our team. The only reason this is dragging is he hasn't ever told me he wanted a release to a certain school, and he's never told me he wants to come back. At some point he's going to have to ask for a release, which I expect will be soon."
Brown played his freshman season at Tennessee in 2009. He left the team in March, but has not officially asked for a release from the school.
