Shelton Felton – Outside linebackers coach
In 2021, Felton would be in his second season on the field as outside linebackers coach at Tennessee under Pruitt. He also served as a defensive quality control analyst in 2018 during Pruitt’s first year as head coach at Tennessee.
Felton served as defensive coordinator at Colquitt County High School (2013-14) for Pruitt’s former boss Rush Propst.
“He is thorough,” Propst told Vols Wire of Felton. “Players like him, and he demands a bunch. He is high-energy, and is what you look for in a coach. To me, I put him on a top pedestal of some of the best coaches that I’ve had. I have had 25 guys coach college football and he is right there at the top. He is a heck of a football coach.
“He is full of energy and is very knowledgeable about the game. Kids love him, and he gets the most out of his players. To me, that is the mark of a great football coach.”
