Heupel was introduced as the Vols’ head coach on Jan. 27.
During Heupel’s introductory press conference, he placed an emphasis on recruiting in-state prospects.
“The most important thing that we do is lock down our boarders,” Heupel said at his introductory press conference. “We have to keep kids inside this state here. That’s for multiple reasons.
“They’re going to come play championship-caliber football. They’re going to be developed. They’re going to have the opportunity to move on to the NFL. They’re going to get a great degree, and they’re going to be empowered to live inside this state once they’re done with that degree — but we have to do that inside our own borders.”
