Safety D.J. Hunter has been charged with felonious assault after allegedly shooting a 15-year-old boy in the face with a BB gun, according to the Hamilton Journal-News.
The incident occurred Monday in Middletown, Ohio. Hunter was arrested Tuesday at school, posted bond Wednesday and is now free.
Hunter will no longer be included in Tennessee's recruiting plans. He had already been looking at other programs following the coaching change, including West Virginia and Illinois.
Hunter committed to Tennessee last July. He had scholarship offers from programs such as Ohio State, Michigan State, Kentucky, Indiana, Vanderbilt, Purdue, Maryland, Wake Forest and Wisconsin.
