Pruitt: “I have made the decision to remove Jeremy Banks from our football program.”
Jeremy Banks has been dismissed from the Tennessee football team – per head coach Jeremy Pruitt.
Statement from Tennessee football head coach Jeremy Pruitt
“I have made the decision to remove Jeremy Banks from our football program.
While I will continue to support Jeremy in the next steps in his life, information I recently received made it clear that this decision is in the best interest of the football program and the university.”
A video obtained by TMZ was released shortly thereafter of Banks outside of an establishment in Knoxville on August 24. In the video, an alleged threat was made to a female. Earlier in the week, WBIR of Knoxville released police footage of the Banks arrest on September 15 where the former linebacker belittled and made inappropriate comments towards police officers.
Banks played a reserve role in the linebacking corps this season after appearing in 2018 as a running back.
Tennessee Dedicates Doug Dickey Hall of Fame Plaza
Tennessee Athletics hosted a dedication ceremony Friday afternoon for the new Doug Dickey Hall of Fame Plaza.
The beautiful, outdoor plaza is located outside the north entrance of Neyland-Thompson Sports Center and is the centerpiece of a corridor to and from Stokely Hall that is used regularly by Tennessee student-athletes who call that residence hall home. A well manicured gathering space in which University of Tennessee Athletics Hall of Fame inductees are honored with individualized pavers, the plaza also is sure to receive a large volume of fan traffic on UT gamedays.
In only six years as head coach, from 1964 through 1969, Doug Dickey rebuilt the Tennessee football program and guided the Vols to a national championship and two Southeastern Conference titles.
As the university’s athletics director for 18 years starting in 1985, he managed a burgeoning budget that allowed UT to remain in the forefront of college sports competition.
In sum, Dickey’s contributions in coaching and administration combined to form a unique chapter in the history of Tennessee athletics. His lasting legacy has been duly noted with a string of prestigious awards paying homage to his achievements in both fields.
Hosted by current Director of Athletics Phillip Fulmer, Friday’s program also included remarks from football VFLs Lester McClain and Bob Johnson, as well as current Lady Vols basketball coach Kellie Harper, former Southeastern Conference commissioner Roy Kramer and Dickey himself.
Fulmer closed the program by unveiling a bust of Dickey that now is on permanent display in the plaza.
Friday’s dedication was coordinated in conjunction with the reunion of the 1969 Tennessee football team on its 50th anniversary. Dickey led that squad to an SEC Championship and a 9-2 overall record. Fulmer was a sophomore offensive guard on that team.

Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton & More to Perform at “All for the Hall” Benefit Concert
Keith Urban announced that his 7th All for the Hall benefit concert will take place on Feb. 10 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena with an all-star lineup that includes Ingrid Andress, Luke Combs, Lauren Daigle, Brothers Osborne, Blake Shelton, Chris Stapleton, Tenille Townes and Tanya Tucker. During this year’s concert—which is themed Under the Influence—each artist will perform a song that was recorded by an artist who strongly influenced them, in addition to one of their own hits.
“Ken Burns’ documentary has shown us that we are all very much influenced by our heroes,” said Keith. “So this year’s All for the Hall benefit is our chance to acknowledge those that have been an influence on us and helped shape the artists that we are today. Somehow these shows always seem to take on a life of their own. They’re incredibly fun to do, and you never quite really know what’s gonna happen. So we’ll roll with it and turn Bridgestone into one huge club!”
Over the years, Keith’s All for Hall concerts have raised $3.4 million in support of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s education programs.
Tickets go on sale on Oct. 18 at 10 a.m. CT. Additional performers will be announced in the coming weeks.

Maren Morris Teams With Hozier for New Rendition of “The Bones” [Listen]
Maren Morris enlisted the talents of Hozier for a new rendition of her current single, “The Bones.” Maren co-penned the tune, which is featured on her 2019 album, Girl, with Laura Veltz and Jimmy Robbins.
“When I first heard [Hozier’s] ‘Like Real People Do,’ I think I could actually hear my heart breaking and then immediately felt songwriter envy that I didn’t write it first,” says Maren. “Hozier’s soul and vulnerability is so arresting and fit so well with the foundational theme of my song ‘The Bones.’ I feel so grateful to have him on it.”
Currently, Maren’s original version of the single is No. 35 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart after six weeks.

Watch Carrie Underwood Perform New Song, “Low,” & Chat With Stephen Colbert: “I Feel Like Women Are the Backbone of Country Music”
Carrie Underwood stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Oct. 3 for a sit-down interview and to perform her new song, “Low.”
During her interview with Stephen, Carrie chatted about her 15th anniversary of trying out for American Idol, flying on a plane for the first time, getting college credits while on Idol, hosting the upcoming CMA Awards with Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire and more.
When Stephen asked Carrie about the CMA Awards’ theme this year—celebrating the legacy of women in country music—she was ready to explain.
“I feel like women are the backbone of country music, when you think back to some of the greatest country artists of all time, like Dolly, Reba, Loretta, Patsy, yeah, Tammy—they don’t even need last names,” said Carrie. “They taught me how to sing, they taught me how to act, how to dress, how to be onstage, they taught me that anything was possible. They’re why I get to do what I get to do, so I’m glad we’re celebrating that and hopefully we can keep that legacy going.”
After the chat, Carrie performed “Low,” a tune she co-penned with Hillary Lindsey and David Garcia for her 2018 album, Cry Pretty.
Check out Carrie’s performance of “Low” and her interview below.
