Former UCF and Florida State quarterback McKenzie Milton took the first step toward a coaching career on Thursday, getting hired as an offensive analyst at Tennessee and reuniting with coach Josh Heupel.
Milton played for Heupel at UCF from 2018-20, before he finished his career at Florida State in 2021.
"I'm just excited to get back into football. I missed it a bunch," Milton told ESPN in an interview from the Tennessee football office on his first day on the job.
A trip to Tennessee in March to watch spring practice got Milton thinking once again about his ultimate career goal: getting into coaching.
