Tennessee Players React to Josh Heupel as New Head Coach

"I am thrilled to be coming to Tennessee," Heupel said in a statement released by the University. "I understand that Volunteer fans are hungry for a return to the top that they so richly deserve, and it is my goal and commitment to bring a championship back to Rocky Top."

Heupel is not the only one thrilled, as support from his future players has came out in droves. Below we take a look at those reactions.
