Kentucky football has added Jack Ray to its staff as assistant special teams coach, head coach Mark Stoops announced Tuesday. He will assist special teams coordinator Jay Boulware.
Stoops also announced the addition of former Kentucky standouts Yusuf Corker and Jervontius “Bunchy” Stallings as graduate assistants. Corker will work with the defensive backs, while Stallings will work with the defensive line.
Ray comes to Lexington after serving as the co-special teams coordinator at Hawai’i for the past two seasons. Prior to that, he was a graduate assistant at Washington State, a special teams analyst at Nevada, and a student assistant at Arkansas Pine Bluff.
“We’re excited to have Jack Ray join our staff and assist Coach Boulware with special teams,” Stoops said. “He brings great energy, attention to detail, and a strong understanding of the game. Special teams are a critical part of what we do, and I’m confident he will make an immediate impact with our players and our program.
“Also, we are pleased to add Yusuf Corker and Bunchy Stallings to our coaching staff,” Stoops continued. “Both of them played for me and are eager to learn and contribute to the team. They are welcome additions to our program.”
