Deeply grateful for my experience as a VOL,” Charles stated in a social media update. “KNOXVILLE HAS TREATED ME WONDERFULLY. I appreciate all the moments shared. However, I believe it’s time to make the choice that’s best for me and my loved ones! Forever will I wear the orange with pride GBO.
Charles is a redshirt senior with four years of experience on Rocky Top. Over this period at Tennessee, his responsibilities have progressively grown.
During his junior campaign, he sustained an injury to his Achilles tendon and took a medical hiatus. His most impressive performance was during his redshirt junior year when he recorded 28 tackles, with two resulting in losses.
Charles won’t be capable of switching teams within the SEC because of the spring portal regulations. He still has one more year left of eligible playing time.
