KNOXVILLE — Third-year Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt met with media Friday.

Gibbs transferred to Tennessee in January 2019 from Georgia. He has seen time at both defensive back and wide receiver during practices while at UT.

Gibbs lettered at Georgia in 2017 and 2018. He recorded 10 tackles in 13 games as a defensive back for the Bulldogs.
