Deangelo Gibbs left the Georgia football program on Dec. 19. A month later, it appears he’s found his new home.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the former four-star safety prospect is expected to enroll at Tennessee on Friday and join Jeremy Pruitt's Vols, sources close to the situation told GoVols247. Friday is the final day to add classes for the spring semester at Tennessee.



Gibbs, the No. 49 overall player in the 247Sports Composite in the 2017 class, spent the last two seasons at Georgia but left Athens looking for a fresh start.



Sources described Tennessee as the fresh start Gibbs was looking for, thanks in large part to Pruitt, who was the primary recruiter for Gibbs while working at Alabama as defensive coordinator.



The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Gibbs, from Oxford, Ga., and a product of Grayson High School, played in seven games for Georgia last season, finishing with seven tackles. He played in six games and had three tackles as a freshman in 2017.



Gibbs is the cousin of Tennessee defensive back Nigel Warrior and the nephew of Tennessee legend Dale Carter.



He has two years of eligibility remaining and likely will have to sit out a season due to NCAA transfer rules.



The No. 49 overall player in the country according to the Composite in 2017, Gibbs was the No. 4 safety and the No. 6 player out of Georgia. The 247Sports ratings had him at No. 68 overall, No. 8 at safety and No. 8 in the state.
