Tennessee coach Butch Jones confirmed the reported hires of new wide receivers coach Kevin Beard and offensive quality control assistant Tony Sorrentino on Wednesday.

“We are really excited about the additions of Coach Beard and Coach Sorrentino,” Jones said in a school release. “Coach Beard is a young, energetic football coach that has championship pedigree from his college playing days. He will do a great job working with our receivers and be a huge asset on the recruiting trail. Coach Sorrentino comes to Knoxville after the last four years working with receivers such as Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He’s going to bring a high-level of expertise to our entire coaching staff.”

Beard, who replaces Zach Azzanni, will be reuniting with Tennessee OC Larry Scott. The two coached together on Miami’s staff 2014-15 when Beard was passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach while Scott served as tight end’s coach and eventually interim head coach. Beard signed on to be receivers coach at FIU in December after working on Georgia’s staff as a quality control assistant last year. The former Miami player and coach brings impressive South Florida recruiting ties with him to the Vols staff.

Sorrentino brings 13 years of coaching experience to Rocky Top, including his time with the Jacksonville Jaguars, referenced by Jones in the statement above.
