Slowly but surely, pieces of Josh Heupel’s initial staff at Tennessee are leaking out. Heupel has already brought tight ends coach and co-offensive coordinator Alex Golesh with him to Knoxville, along with quarterbacks coach Joey Halzle and offensive line coach Glen Elarbee.
We can now add receivers coach Kodi Burns to that offensive group. The former Auburn player and assistant coach was hired by Heupel at UCF this year, and will now follow him to Tennessee.
John Brice at FootballScoop reports that Burns is now official.
Burns was a receiver at Auburn from 2007-2010.
