Tennessee starting cornerback Rickey Gibson will enter the transfer portal, according to a report Tuesday from On3.com .
The news comes about a week before the Vols kick off spring practice on March 7.
Last season, Gibson started 12 games as a sophomore. He had 32 tackles, two tackles for loss, five pass breakups and one forced fumble.

The transfer portal opens April 16, so there's time for Gibson to change his mind. But if he leaves, it would put the UT secondary in a bind.
All-America cornerback Jermod McCoy is already sidelined by a torn ACL he suffered in January. The Vols already may have been in the market for a cornerback in the portal. If Gibson transfers, they could be looking for multiple cornerbacks.
Jalen McMurray and Kaleb Beasley are among the next cornerbacks on the depth chart.
