(WVLT) -- Tennessee recruit Lerentee McCray told Volquest.com that Tennessee assistant coaches Kurt Roper and Matt Luke have informed him they are leaving UT at the end of the season and following David Cutcliffe to Duke.

"Tennessee was up there, but they got a lot of coaching changes so that has changed things," McCray said. "All of the coaches that were recruiting me are leaving. Coach Roper, Troop, and Coach Luke have told me they are leaving."

Both Roper and Luke joined the Vols at the start of the 2006 season. In addition to serving as tight ends coach, Luke is also the Vols' recruiting coordinator.
