Joseph Norwood of Brainerd High in Chattanooga is a 2018 Tennessee football signee.

Three-star senior defensive back Joseph Norwood of Brainerd High School in Chattanooga no longer is part of Tennessee’s 2018 recruiting class, sources confirmed to GoVols247 on Sunday.

The 6-foot-1, 173-pound Norwood announced his commitment to the Vols on Feb. 7 after getting a last-minute scholarship offer from them on National Signing Day. But, he didn’t sign a binding National Letter of Intent and was expected to enroll at Tennessee this summer as a blueshirt.
