First-year Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel introduced his defensive staff on Monday.

“I’m excited to be able to introduce our defensive staff, a group of men that I’m really excited about,” Heupel said. “They’ve hit the ground running here this past week and a half with our players and are already getting some things implemented in getting ourselves prepared for spring ball.

“I’m excited about this group of men and who they are, and how they’re going to impact our players in a positive way off the field. A group of high energy men that have a ton of experience. Four out of the five have coordinator experience. Four out of the five have SEC ties and have been inside of this league before. They are a group of elite recruiters that can help us recruit the biggest and the best here to Knoxville, Tennessee.”
