Two weeks before Tennessee State’s highly anticipated HBCU football season opener against North Carolina A&T, the Tigers have taken a massive hit to their secondary. Defensive back Camani Cobbs, a preseason HBCU All-American, announced on his X.com account that he is entering the transfer portal.

"I will be entering the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility. Thank you Tennessee State University for allowing me to develop and build as a man on and off the field," Cobbs wrote.

The move is a surprising one considering the timing and Cobb's recent accolades. Just last month, he was selected to the 2025 HBCU College Football Preseason All-America Team by BoxToRow.com and also landed on the OVC/Big South Preseason Watch List .
