  10/23/20 - OT Cade MaysrSr/2022, Tennessee

  Cade Mays took about 30 seconds collecting his thoughts and carefully choosing his words Tuesday as he answered the question of why Georgia wasn't the right fit. "There were just things that were not really - I'm looking for the right word - things that just weren't like …," Mays said, before pausing to think. "It wasn't really for me, you know? So, I felt like I had to transfer, and so I did so, and now I'm happy with where I am." Mays, a junior offensive lineman, won a contentious transfer waiver process to gain eligibility to play for Tennessee this season after transferring from Georgia in January. Mays spoke with reporters Tuesday for the first time since his transfer.

As an intraconference transfer, Mays needed waivers from the NCAA and SEC to gain immediate eligibility and not have to sit out a season. Initially, the NCAA denied Mays' waiver. Then prominent Knoxville lawyer Gregory P. Isaacs took up Mays' case and ratcheted up the public campaign to get Mays cleared. Isaacs told Knox News in August that "because of a variety of factors, it was a toxic environment (at Georgia) that did not support Cade Mays' well-being as a student-athlete." Coach Jeremy Pruitt and teammates spoke out on Mays' behalf. The NCAA reconsidered and granted a waiver, and SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, at recommendation from the conference's presidents and chancellors, issued blanket waivers to any intraconference transfer athletes looking to compete this year. - Knoxville News Sentinel
