Jayson Jenkins officially enters the transfer portal.

Tennessee is losing another player to the transfer portal. On Monday an announcement was made that defensive lineman and edge rusher Jayson Jenkins was entering his name into the transfer portal.

Jenkins played as a rotational guy but made some noise in his time on the field with two sacks this season. Jenkins was anticipated to have a bigger role next season for the Vols but that will not be the case with him in the portal.

This is the second entry in the portal for the Vols since their loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday. Christian Harrison entered on Sunday which has been the most decorating announcement so far. One could argue Jenkins is second on that list now that he has officially entered the portal.

More players are expected to enter the portal moving forward. This is likely not the last portal announcement.
