Dismissed DL with Torn ACL and Felony Charge
Emmit Gooden, a former 'Last Chance U' star and projected starter for Tennessee's DL, is no longer on the team due to a felony aggravated domestic assault charge and is sidelined indefinitely with a torn ACL from the 2024 season. While he previously showed intensity and seasoned playmaking potential as a defensive lineman, his off-field conduct and severe injury history make him a high-risk, non-viable fit for any team. His differentiators—raw experience and film exposure—are overshadowed by legal and medical red flags that eliminate him from competitive consideration.
