A recent addition to the Tennessee Vols football program was reportedly dismissed from the team this week.

Offensive lineman Savion Herring, a three-star junior college transfer who joined the team over the summer, was arrested this week for domestic assault.

According to the police report, Herring was seen on video kicking and hitting his girlfriend.

From WBIR:

An arrest warrant said he was involved in an incident with his girlfriend Sunday, Sept. 11 in Stokely Hall at around 11 p.m. According to the document, Herring and his girlfriend got into a fight in his room.

The documents also said that he was seen on camera kicking and hitting her as she tried to leave Stokely Hall. It also said that he is seen taking her bag and kicking it back to his room.

According to the warrant, Herring is scheduled to appear in court for an arraignment on Tuesday, Sept. 27.

The arrest happened on September 14. Herring's profile was removed from the UTSports.com website before the arrest was reported by any media outlets, meaning Tennessee acted swiftly once they received news of the arrest.
