Perry Pumas Promote Assistant to Coordinator Role
The Perry Pumas, a 6A program based in Gilbert, have elevated assistant coach Ryan Jenkins to the position of defensive coordinator. Jenkins, who has spent the past three seasons with the program, has been instrumental in developing the team's defensive talent. His promotion comes as the Pumas look to build on a 5-6 record from last season. The move is expected to have significant recruiting implications, as Jenkins has established relationships with top prospects in the region. With the Pumas competing in one of the state's toughest 6A divisions, Jenkins' expertise will be crucial in helping the team navigate a challenging schedule. The Pumas will kick off their 2026 campaign in late August, and fans are eagerly anticipating Jenkins' impact on the team's performance.
