After going the entire offseason with minimal attrition, Tennessee is having a player leave the program just days after the season opener.

Sophomore running back Trey Coleman revealed in a series of tweets on his private Twitter account on Tuesday morning that he's leaving the Vols.

Coleman posted multiple tweets including "it's been real" with a short clip of his packed bags and "24 out" and "God don't make mistakes," and in one he wrote he would miss his "brother" Tim Jordan, who rushed for 118 yards on 20 carries in Tennessee's season-opening loss against West Virginia on Saturday.

Tennessee confirmed Coleman's departure to GoVols247 early Tuesday afternoon.

The 6-foot, 210-pound Coleman was the only scholarship running back not to play against the Mountaineers with Michigan State transfer Madre London and freshman Jeremy Banks playing ahead of him after Ty Chandler left the game with an undisclosed injury in the second quarter.

Chandler, Jordan and Coleman were part of Tennessee's 2017 signing class.

Coleman's departure would leave the Vols with just five scholarship running backs, but Tennessee could move redshirt freshman Princeton Fant back to the backfield to bolster the depth a little more. Fant, a former wide receiver, worked at running back throughout spring practice and during the first half of preseason camp before the Vols moved him back to tight end in mid-August. The 6-foot-2, 222-pounder is not listed on the participation report for the West Virginia game.

Coleman played in four games as a freshman and made all of his contributions in the second game of the season against Indiana State when he rushed four times for 9 yards and caught a 3-yard pass in mop-up duty against the Sycamores.

He was rated a three-star prospect and ranked the No. 700 overall player and No. 50 athlete prospect in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite for the 2018 class and chose the Vols over Arkansas, Mississippi State and Louisiana Tech, among others.

During his senior season at West Monroe (La.) High School, Coleman totaled 1,369 yards and 12 touchdowns on 187 carries and recorded six 100-yard games while adding 10 catches for 171 yards and three touchdowns. He rushed for more than 1,400 yards with 12 touchdowns as a junior in 2015.

Tennessee's coaching transition from the fired to Butch Jones to Jeremy Pruitt only produced two transfers in quarterback Quinten Dormady and defensive tackle Quay Picou. Dormady had made his decision to leave Tennessee prior to Pruitt's hire and is now at Houston, while Picou left in the spring. Outside linebacker Ryan Thaxton was dismissed from the program in July after his arrest on domestic assault charges.
