Another Tennessee freshman defensive defensive back had his helmet stripe removed after Thursday' practice on Haslam Field.

Freshman safety Nigel Warrior had his helmet stripe removed by Vols coach Butch Jones one day after freshman cornerback Baylen Buchanan became the first 2016 newcomer to have his stripe removed. The two defensive backs played together at Atlanta-area Peachtree Ridge High School.

Warrior, the nation's No. 58 overall prospect and No. 4 safety prospect in the 2016 industry-generated 247Sports Composite, is the son of former Vols and NFL son Dale Carter. The highly touted Atlanta-area native has been praised by coaches and teammates throughout preseason camp, and first-year defensive coordinator Bob Shoop said Thursday afternoon that it's a safe bet Warrior will be on the field "early" this season.
