Tennessee WR Kaleb Webb plans to enter transfer portal

Tennessee wide receiver Kaleb Webb plans to enter the transfer portal, he tells On3. The former four-star recruit and redshirt sophomore will have two years of eligibility remaining.

The former top-300 recruit has 22 career catches for 214 yards and a touchdown. Webb redshirted this season with the Volunteers, but he pulled down six catches for 48 yards in four games. An On3 top-100 recruit, the 6-foot-3, 195-pound wide receiver picked the Volunteers over Michigan and Louisville coming out of high school.

“I don’t know if anybody spends more time in the building catching balls off the JUGS,” Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said about Kaleb Webb in 2023. “He’s always coming back for extra work in the middle of the day to understand what he’s doing, what he’s seeing to continue to grow within our offense, understanding defensive structure.”

Webb was the Georgia High School Football Daily 2021 Region 2-7A Player of the Year. He caught 83 passes for 1,601 yards and 18 touchdowns as a senior in 2021 to earn all-state accolades. He became the first McEachern High School player to tally over 1,000 receiving yards in a season since 2015.

The transfer portal officially opens on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024. More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers. That means roughly 25% of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year.
