Tennessee sophomore tight end Cameron Clear was arrested by University of Tennessee police Tuesday evening on a felony theft charge.

Clear, 19, of Memphis, was booked into the Knox County Detention Facility on a charge of theft of more than $1,000, according to jail logs. As of Tuesday evening, he was being held in lieu of $2,500 bond.

"We are aware of an incident involving Cameron and are in the process of gathering the facts," Jimmy Stanton, UT's associate athletic director for communications, said Tuesday night.

Clear, who is 6-foot-6, 283 pounds, ended spring practice as the backup to starting tight end Mychal Rivera. He caught only one pass last year as a freshman but was expected to play a more prominent role in the offense this season.

Clear was one of the most heralded signees in UT's 2011 recruiting class. In his senior season at Memphis Central, he caught 18 passes for 250 yards and six touchdowns. He also had 60 tackles and eight sacks on defense.

Sophomore tight end Cameron Clear has been suspended indefinitely by head coach Derek Dooley following his arrest Tuesday evening on a charge of felony theft.

The charge came from an incident Saturday, May 19th where the laptop owned by baseball player Jeffery Zajac was reported stolen.

According to police and court reports, Clear, who posted $2,500.00 bond late Tuesday night and was released, was in possession of that computer on Tuesday when the UT Police Department took him into custody.

Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley didn't wait on the legal process to decide the fate of tight end Cameron Clear in his football program. After gathering information including visiting with Clear following the sophomore's arrest Tuesday night on a charge of felony theft, Dooley has dismissed the Memphis native.

"It hurts anytime a player is dismissed from the program, but there comes a time when a player's actions dictate that his privilege of being a part of this team should be removed," said Dooley in a release. "We will continue to support Cam and his family to help him learn from his actions and become the person and player I believe he has the potential to be."

Can't say I didn't see this coming, just gotta move ahead.
