Tennessee WR Jauan Jennings gets pot citation in January traffic stop
Tennessee sophomore wide receiver Jauan Jennings spent part of National Signing Day in court.
According to the Knoxville News-Sentinel, Jennings made a court appearance Wednesday after he received a citation for marijuana possession in the early hours of Jan. 15.
According to police, Jennings was stopped by an officer after he was driving the wrong way on a one-way street. He didn’t have his ID and wasn’t able to remember his social security number when he was asked by the officer who pulled him over.

The officer reported an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. The wide receiver was read his rights, temporarily handcuffed and detained in the back of a police cruiser. Jennings then admitted to the officer he had marijuana in the back of the vehicle.
A police dog was deployed and officers found a baggie containing marijuana in the back seat of Jenning’s truck, DeBusk said.
Jennings was released after being cited for simple possession, traveling the wrong way on a one-way street and driving without proof of insurance, according to DeBusk.
A spokesperson for Tennessee said the school was aware of the report. Jennings had 40 catches for 580 yards and seven scores in 2016.

Tennessee finished NSD with the No. 15 class in the country, the second-straight time the Vols have ended with that rank after signing the No. 5 class in the nation in 2015. After two-straight nine-win seasons (that can also be classified as disappointments, quite frankly), Tennessee coach Butch Jones claimed that he was hearing from people that the program was “back”
“I think this is probably, overall, the most positive year we’ve had in recruiting. Every high school I went into, whatever state it was, whether it’s the principal, the high school football coach, the athletic director coming out and saying ‘Wow, Tennessee football is back.'”
