A former Tennessee Vols player is sticking around in the SEC.
Wide receiver DeAngelo Gibbs is reportedly transferring from Tennessee to South Carolina.
Gibbs, a former four-star recruit, originally transferred to Tennessee from Georgia ahead of the 2019 season.
Gibbs, who was a safety at Georgia before moving to wide receiver at Tennessee, has a family connection to the Vols. He's the nephew of former Tennessee cornerback Dale Carter and the cousin of former Vols safety Nigel Warrior.
The Georgia native sat out the 2019 season after transferring to UT. He then sat out the 2020 COVID-impacted season. Gibbs wasn't listed on the roster in 2021, but he didn't enter the transfer portal until after the 2021 season.
Gibbs has plenty of talent, but for whatever reason, he's never been able to put it all together. It seems unlikely that anything will change at South Carolina, but perhaps a fresh start will allow him to see the field for the first time in several years.
