Troy closing in on Jon Sumrall for head coaching job, per report

The writing has been on the wall all week and now it appears the rumors will come true: Jon Sumrall is on his way out of Kentucky.

According to Brandon Marcello of 247Sports, Sumrall, the Wildcats’ inside linebackers/co-defensive coordinator, is the top target for the head coaching position at Troy. He is expected to be announced as the next Trojan’s coach as soon as Friday.

Earlier on Thursday, Sumrall was named one of four finalists for the head coaching job at Troy by FootballScoop.com, along with Alabama assistant Charles Kelly, West Virginia assistant Jordan Lesley, and one other unnamed candidate.
