The Tennessee Vols' depth on the defensive side of the ball took a hit this week.

According to VolQuest, Vols linebacker William Mohan has been indefinitely suspended following an arrest.

Here's the statement from Tennessee that was provided to VolQuest:

“We are aware of the recent arrest of football student-athlete William Mohan. He was immediately suspended indefinitely from all team activities.”

Here are the details of the arrest, via WVLT:

Mohan became angry and used one hand to grab her face and the other to choke the victim, the report stated. The victim told police that Mohan reportedly choked the victim by grabber her and pulling her towards him.

The victim told police she screamed, escaped Mohan’s grasp and grabbed an iron from her desk, asking Mohan to leave. The report stated that he refused, and the victim went into the kitchen to grab a kitchen knife.

When the victim returned to the bedroom with a knife in hand, she told Mohan to leave again. The report stated that Mohan walked up to her and used one hand to grab her throat and the other to take the knife away.

At this point, one of the victim’s roommates entered the bedroom and also told Mohan to leave, according to the report. The victim told police that Mohan did leave but shortly afterward started calling her and knocking on her door again.

The report stated she let Mohan back into the apartment, where he passed out on the couch. She began calling numbers in his phone to get him a ride home, the report said.

Mohan was set to serve in a backup role for the Volunteers this season while also contributing on special teams. It seemed unlikely that he was going to be a major factor for Tennessee in 2022.

Still, considering the Vols' depth concerns, it's less-than-ideal to lose a player who was going to be listed on the depth chart this close to the start of the season.
