Vols football WR Chris Brazzell arrested and charged for suspended license, speeding
According to Knox News, part of the USA TODAY Network, the police report noted that the Brazzell was pulled over for driving 60 mph in a 35 mph zone across the Henley Street Bridge in downtown Knoxville near the Volunteers campus.
"We are aware of the traffic stop involving Chris Brazzell II and have no further comment at this time," a Tennessee spokesperson told Knox News on Aug. 10 in a statement regarding Brazzell, who is set to appear in court on Aug. 20.
The report continues to note that Brazzell was arrested due to having a "history of not appearing for court." It also mentions that he showed the officer who pulled him over his passport, as he did not have his license on him. The reason for this was that the junior wide receiver, who is from Midland, Texas, had his license suspended for failing to appear in court in Blount County, Tennessee on Aug. 15 of last year.
Brazzell finished third among Tennessee's wide receivers last season in receiving yards at 333 yards and two touchdowns on 29 receptions.
Coming off a 10-3 season, Tennessee came in at No. 18 in the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll. The Volunteers are scheduled to open up the season against Syracuse on Aug. 30 in the Aflac Kickoff in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Longhorns first AP preseason No. 1 in history to be underdog in Week 1
It has never happened before. No preseason No. 1 in the AP Top 25 has been an underdog in Week 1. But that's exactly what the Texas Longhorns are. UT is a 2.5 point underdog to the Ohio State Buckeyes at the Horseshoe in Columbus, OH in the first week of the season, according to ESPN BET lines. According to ESPN BET, Texas-Ohio State as its most-bet college football game so far for the 2025 season. 54.1% have bet on Texas on the spread and 73.6% have bet on Texas in the money line, which is +115. If you use the US LBM Coaches Poll, this will also be the first time No. 1 and No. 2 have played each other in the first week of the season. ESPN College GameDay will be on hand. So will Fox Sports' Big Noon Kickoff. The game already has huge storylines. It is Arch Manning's first start as QB1. It features the defending national champion. It features college football's only back-to-back semifinalist. It is a rematch of last year's college football semifinal in the Cotton Bowl. Now it is historic in two ways.

Oklahoma Sooners included in preseason AP Top 25 for 26th consecutive season
The Oklahoma Sooners were snubbed in the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll released last week, but find themselves in a prominent position in the preseason AP Top 25 released on Monday. The Sooners landed at No. 18 in the nation, the seventh-highest rated team in the preseason poll. It's the 26th consecutive season that the Sooners have been ranked inside the top 25, and it is the second-longest streak in the nation behind the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Texas Longhorns are the unanimous No. 1 team in the nation heading into the season after they were voted No. 1 in the coaches poll as well. Penn State earned the No. 2 spot in front of Big Ten rival and defending national champion Ohio State, which was voted the No. 2 team in the US LBM Coaches Poll. Rounding out the top five are the No. 4 Clemson Tigers, the prohibitive favorite in the ACC, and the back-to-back defending SEC champion Georgia Bulldogs at No. 5. The Sooners will play five teams ranked in front of them in the preseason AP Top 25. No. 1 Texas, No. 8 Alabama, No. 9 LSU, No. 13 South Carolina, and No. 14 Michigan. Oklahoma also faces top 25 teams, No. 21 Ole Miss and No. 24 Tennessee. Oklahoma comes into the season with something to prove after finishing 6-7 in 2024 with an offense that ranked No. 97 in the nation. But Brent Venables and general manager Jim Nagy have rebuilt the offensive side of the ball for new offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle. Led by transfer portal additions, quarterback John Mateer and running back Jaydn Ott, the Sooners have a chance to completely rewrite the narrative surrounding the program in 2025.
