Former Alabama safety Nick Perry appears to be joining the Crimson Tide staff.
AL.com reported Wednesday night that Alabama has hired Perry as a graduate assistant.
Perry played at Alabama from 2010-14, which included a starting role at free safety as a redshirt senior in 2014. He had 78 tackles, including 4.5 for a loss, five passes defended and two interceptions that season.
Perry was a reserve for the first three seasons of his Alabama career, then received a medical redshirt after going down with a season-ending shoulder injury during the 2013 season.
Perry had stints with the Baltimore Ravens and the Philadelphia Eagles the last two years after going undrafted in the 2015 NFL Draft.
