Zane Perry enters his 26th season working with the Texas Tech football program and fifth in the role of Assistant Athletics Director for Equipment Operations.
Perry, a Lubbock native, joined the full-time equipment staff after graduating from Texas Tech with a degree in exercise and sport science in 2005. During his tenure as a student equipment manager, Perry served as an NFL intern for two summer camps for the Carolina Panthers equipment staff. After his graduation from Monterey High School in 1999, Perry received a scholarship to join the student equipment staff with the Texas Tech football program.
During his 25 seasons on the Red Raider sideline, Perry has risen from a student manager to assistant equipment manager all the way to the head football equipment manager and now his current role.
Perry oversees a staff of six full-time equipment managers as well as numerous student managers who work directly with each of Texas Tech’s athletics programs. He is the point-person for Texas Tech’s new apparel provider in adidas, managing all equipment requests as well as uniform designs specifically for the Red Raider football program. Perry and his team worked alongside adidas in quickly designing Texas Tech’s uniforms beginning with the 2024 season, giving the Red Raiders a modern look that also respects many historical elements.
Perry was promoted to Director of Equipment Operations in 2018 after previously serving over a decade as the Red Raiders’ head football equipment manager. He was voted as the 2024 Knight-Pickard District 7 Equipment Manager of the Year.
Perry and his wife, Erica, have two daughters, Presley and Finlay, and a son, Walker.
