Last week, Tennessee football added assistant coach Mike Ekeler as the final on-field member of Josh Heupel’s staff. Ekeler heads to Rocky Top from the North Texas Mean Green and will serve as outside linebackers coach and special teams coordinator.

It’s pretty obvious that Ekeler is excited to be at UT as well. He has been all over social media talking about how happy he is to be in Knoxville, Tenn.
