The University of Tennessee has booted Jeremy Banks off the football team days after footage surfaced showed him berating police officers during a recent arrest.
UT coach Jeremy Pruitt announced the move moments ago … saying, “While I will continue to support Jeremy in the next steps in his life, information I recently received made it clear this decision is in the best interest of the football program & university.”
As we previously reported, Banks was stopped for making an illegal U-turn in Knoxville on Sept. 15 and during the incident, cops noticed an outstanding warrant stemming from a failure to appear in court for a prior traffic issue.
While Banks was in the police car being taken to the station, he went off on the officers.
At one point, Banks says the following to a female intern who’s participating in a ride-along — “You don’t wanna be an intern because where I’m from we shoot at cops. I’m from Memphis, Tennessee.”
He also made comments like, “I don’t like the police, bro. Hell nah,” and “Y’all police are some p*****s, bro. Real s**t, I don’t f**k with y’all.”
