Cornerback Derion Kendrick has left the program and is expected to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Kendrick, a senior, was the Tigers' most talented cornerback last season but started in just eight of 12 games because of injuries and "disciplinary issues." Coach Dabo Swinney said Kendrick had been in the "love shack." A former 5-star recruit, Kendrick earned second-team All-ACC honors as a sophomore in 2019. Playing opposite corner back A.J. Terrell - who was later taken No. 16 overall by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2020 NFL Draft - Kendrick recorded 51 tackles (three for loss), six pass breakups and two interceptions. - Charleston Post Courier
