As he continues to work on his staff, Tennessee football head coach Josh Heupel reportedly added a notable former player from a fellow SEC school on Monday. In the process, he has come close to completing his offensive staff.

Former Auburn Tigers quarterback and wide receiver Kodi Burns will join Heupel’s staff, according to John Brice of Football Scoop. Burns has spent the past five years on Gus Malzahn’s staff at Auburn, serving as offensive coordinator from 2016 to 2018 and then passing game coordinator in 2019 and 2020.
