Mark Perry joined the football coaching staff in January 2019 as the director of football administration. He came to West Virginia with head coach Neal Brown after serving as the director of football operations at Troy in 2018.

Mark Perry has taken a job at UK

Mark Perry, the former Lexington Catholic head coach who was slated to be the director of football administration for Neal Brown at West Virginia, will instead work in a “quality control role assisting with the quarterbacks” for UK. Perry was a quarterback during the Hal Mumme years at UK from 1997 to 2000, the same era of Brown’s career at UK as a wide receiver.

Kentucky football coach Mark Stoops talks about the promotion of Brad White to defensive coordinator and the hiring of Jon Sumrall as inside linebackers coach. Sumrall played linebacker at UK under Guy Morriss and Rich Brooks.

UK has not confirmed any of the moves.

Perry coached Lexington Catholic from 2014 to 2017, a stint that included being named Class 3A coach of the year by the Kentucky Football Coaches Association. One of his players toward the end of that time was four-star, class of 2020 quarterback Beau Allen, who has offers from a number of schools, including Kentucky and West Virginia.

Sounds like Kentucky is taking a coach to include a 4 star recruit. Sneaky.
