The University of Tennessee plans to file two waivers on behalf of former Florida State freshman All-American tight end Brandon Warren, one of which could result in immediate eligibility for the 2008 season.
Warren, who begins classes at UT on Monday, needs the NCAA to approve a pair of hardship waivers - one to allow him to receive financial aid and another to regain his eligibility after leaving Florida State early in his second semester there last year.

Vols' WR Warren dismissed from team
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- University of Tennessee junior wide receiver Brandon Warren has been dismissed from the football program, Volunteers coach Lane Kiffin said after Monday's practice.
Kiffin didn't give a specific reason for Warren's dismissal, offering only "conduct detrimental to the team."
"Brandon Warren is no longer with our team," Kiffin said. "We wish him the best of luck, and we'll give him full academic support and keep him going in school.
"And that's the last I'm going to comment on it. It's very unfortunate."
Warren, a former Florida State player from the Knoxville suburb Alcoa, had seven catches for 54 yards and two touchdowns in Tennessee's first five games this season.
The 6-foot-2, 216-pound Warren was visibly upset during the Vols' 26-22 loss to Auburn on Saturday in Neyland Stadium. Various teammates and coaches tried unsuccessfully to calm him, though he eventually settled down, located his thrown helmet and returned to the lineup.
Multiple witnesses said Warren got into a confrontation with Volunteers' wide receivers coach Frank Wilson. Attempts to reach Warren on Monday night weren't immediately successful, and Wilson was not made available for comment after the Vols' practice.
