Tennessee running backs coach Robert Gillespie

Three-star running back Jeremy Lewis of Lone Grove (Okla.) High School has enrolled at Tennessee for the second session of summer classes, sources told GoVols247 on Monday, joining the Vols as a late addition to their 2016 recruiting class and a replacement for injured running back Joe Young.

The 6-foot-1, 193-pound Lewis signed with Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas, earlier this year after decommitting from Arkansas State in January. He also received scholarship offers from Nebraska, Ohio and Tulsa.

A source close to the situation said Lewis, barring an unexpected academic snag, is expected to be officially added to Tennessee's roster in time for the start of preseason camp on Aug. 1.

Lewis is expected to effectively replace Young, whose playing career at Tennessee likely is over because of an injury in his neck area, on a roster that previously was short on running-back depth. Without Young, the Vols were down to just four scholarship running backs: junior starter Jalen Hurd, junior Alvin Kamara, sophomore John Kelly and freshman Carlin Fils-aime.

Tennessee coach Butch Jones said in May that he expects Young, who would have been a sophomore this season, to serve as a "student coach" for the Vols this season.

Lewis led the state of Oklahoma in rushing as a senior, racking up 3,066 yards and 51 touchdowns on the ground. He's ranked the nation's No. 1,784 overall prospect and No. 126 running back in the 247Sports Composite for the 2016 class.
