DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR TO EXIT
Defensive coordinator Matt Fryar is leaving the football
program to become an assistant at Angelo State
University. Fryar, who graduated from Angelo State and
was a captain on the Rams’ football team in 2000, was
one of Allman’s first hires at Permian upon taking over
as head coach in 2005. The two worked together on
staffs at Temple and Highland Park before coming to
Odessa. Over his three seasons with the Panthers,
Fryar coached the defensive secondary and outside
linebackers in addition to his coordinator duties.
Coach Matt Anastasio is expected to take over the
defensive play calling next year.
