Tennessee football’s special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach, Mike Ekeler, is leaving the Volunteers after four successful seasons to join Nebraska’s staff. Ekeler, a Nebraska native, previously coached linebackers for the Cornhuskers from 2008-2010. Under Ekeler, Tennessee excelled in punt returns and kicking accuracy, with freshman Boo Carter making a significant impact on special teams. The Vols also saw success in field goals and extra points during Ekeler’s tenure. His departure marks a coaching change for Tennessee under head coach Josh Heupel, who has had relatively few changes in his staff. In other Tennessee sports news, the basketball team made a big statement by defeating No. 5 Florida, earning them a No. 4 ranking in the Associated Press poll. Additionally, the baseball team has welcomed former North Carolina player Alberto Osuna for the upcoming season. Tennessee’s athletic programs continue to make moves and see success in various sports.
