A former Tennessee Vols tight end received a big promotion with the Tennessee Titans this week.

The Titans announced on Monday that Luke Stocker, a former Vols tight end, has been promoted from assistant tight ends coach to tight ends coach.

Stocker started his NFL coaching career in 2023 as an offensive assistant with the Titans. He was named the assistant tight ends coach ahead of the 2024 season.

The former Vol is replacing Justin Outten, who wasn't retained by the Titans following the 2024 season.

Stocker played at Tennessee from 2006 to 2010 (which means he's part of a small group of players that played for Phillip Fulmer, Lane Kiffin, and Derek Dooley).

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Stocker in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Stocker spent five and a half seasons in Tampa before he was signed by the Titans in the middle of the 2017 season. The former Tennessee tight end also spent time with the Atlanta Falcons and the Minnesota Vikings before calling it a career after the 2021 season.

Stocker finished his NFL career with 85 receptions for 705 yards and five touchdowns.
