Officially, Jerry Mack is no longer with the Tennessee Volunteers; he left this morning for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Mack spent the

previous three seasons as Josh Heupel’s running backs coach.

There were rumors of an offer on Friday, and according to several accounts, it was finalized today.

Mack started working for Tennessee in 2021. He served as Rice’s offensive coordinator and North Carolina Central’s head coach in the

past. Mack aided in the development of Dylan Sampson, Jaylen Wright, and Jabari Small at Tennessee. He also assisted in acquiring

Cam Seldon and Peyton Lewis, two four-star talents.

Heupel hasn’t had many employees leave since moving to Knoxville. In 2021, Kodi Burns, the receivers coach, left for the NFL, and in

2022, Alex Golesh, the offensive coordinator, left to become the head coach at South Florida. Both positions were filled by members of

the program. Will Heupel step outdoors now? That is still to be determined.

Over the next few days, expect some names to surface as potential candidates.

Even before making his initial visit to the Vols this past weekend, Antoni Ogumoro considered Tennessee to be among his top

collegiate options, if not his early favorite. Having seen the program in person, he was fully aware of Tennessee’s current position.

After visiting the Vols on Saturday for their first junior day of the season, Elgin (Oklahoma) High School’s offensive lineman for the

class of 2025 said that they are “definitely at the top” of his list. Having kept in close communication with him over the past few

months, Tennessee had already captured his interest. He claimed that his “amazing” visit last weekend strengthened his already

positive impression of the Vols.
