Freshman tailback Treyvon Paulk has been dismissed by the Tennessee football program for a "personal conduct" issue, Vols coach Butch Jones said Monday afternoon during his weekly press conference in Neyland Stadium.

Jones didn't specify the reason for Paulk's dismissal but said he wouldn't answer any more questions or give any more comments on the situation.

The 5-foot-8, 200-pound Paulk was a three-star prospect from Milton High School in Alpharetta, Ga., and he was ranked No. 441 overall nationally and the No. 34 tailback in the 2014 247Sports Composite rankings.

Paulk, who was on track to redshirt this season while recovering from a torn ACL during his high school senior season, was simulating Georgia star tailback Todd Gurley on the practice field last week.

The Vols play at 12th-ranked Georgia on Saturday at noon EDT in Sanford Stadium.
