The Tennessee Volunteers are crushing Akron, and receiver Jimmy Calloway is crushing defensive backs.
Calloway evidently had enough of one Zip late in Saturday’s drubbing, throwing several punches – and landing only a couple – during a play.
Calloway, a redshirt sophomore at Tennessee, was promptly ejected after losing his cool.

Jimmy Calloway throws punches in Tennessee win
The Vols are predictably destroying Akron, and well on their way to a 3-0 start and a showdown with the Florida Gators next week.
One would imagine Calloway, however, won’t be on the field for at least part of the game.
Tennessee fans took to Twitter to voice their … disapproval … of Calloway’s actions.
Some called for his benching, others predicted that would be his final play in a Tennessee uniform.
Can’t imagine the Vols will miss him much if this is it, though.
The young receiver played in just eight games as a freshman, three games last season, and saw just 18 snaps in Tennessee’s Week 1 win over Ball State.
Every time you want to say Jimmy Calloway is about to turn the corner for Tennessee … something like this happens.
Just totally lost it there.
Ridiculous.

Last season a drop made Jimmy Calloway disappear. This season he tried to drop the Akron DB, and likely it will cause him to disappear.

WR Jimmy Calloway has been ejected from the ballgame. Went full 12-round boxer on the Akron defensive back. Threw a handful of punches and landed bout 3-4 of them.

What an idiotic play by Jimmy Calloway. Just absolute buffoonery.

The No. 15 Vols destroyed Akron in spite of Calloway’s haymakers, setting the stage for next week’s showdown with Florida.
Tennessee has cruised through the first part of the season, with wins over Ball State, Pittsburgh and now Akron.
Florida, meanwhile, has looked awful since defeating No. 7 Utah to open the season, losing to Kentucky and struggling Saturday against a terrible USF team.
let’s see where the transfer portal opens to: AgBurn, FLaSt or county jail (EMCC has to much class to take a this poor kid)? I’d feel sorry for him, but he’s at TN, so he brought this on himself…
