Tyson Kee To Join Tennessee's Staff as a Defensive Graduate Assistant

Josh Heupel introduced his five on-field defensive assistants earlier today, as he has now officially completed his first staff of on-field assistants on each side of the football.

Since arriving in Knoxville, Heupel has continued to build a support staff around his program, adding key pieces from around the country and bringing several members from his Central Florida staff with him.

Another UCF staff is set to join the staff in Knoxville, according to a recent social media post from Tyson Kee.
