Kentucky Wildcats Deputy Director of Athletics, DeWayne Peevy is a “very strong candidate” for the vacant DePaul Athletic Director job, according to Justin Rowland of Rivals.
If Peevy were to leave, Kentucky would be losing a key player in their athletics department, and someone whom John Calipari trusts very much behind the scenes.
Even just recently, Peevy was tabbed as one of the SEC’s ‘Behind-The-Scenes-Power-Players” by AL.com. He was even a finalist for the UCF AD opening back in 2015.
Of course, hearing that Peevy is a strong candidate for a Big East school’s AD position should not be a surprise for Kentucky fans, as Peevy has proven his worth time and time again while serving under current AD Mitch Barnhart, so it was really just a matter of time that a big-time school came calling for Peevy.
