"The backup plan was always there for Charlie High if he needed it.The former Christian Academy of Knoxville quarterback put it into action Friday afternoon. He alerted the football coaches at the University of Tennessee that he would be leaving the program, where he was a freshman and a preferred walk-on, to enroll and play at Tennessee Tech.The 6-foot, 190-pound High will be eligible to play right away, since Tennessee Tech is a Football Championship Subdivision team. Golden Eagles coach Watson Brown told High, when he chose in early February to walk on at Tennessee, that he’d always have a spot at Tennessee Tech should High ever change his mind."
