Jury’s primary responsibilities at Georgia Tech include working with the outfielders to maintain their defensive fundamentals and assisting hitters to gain more knowledge of their personalized offensive approach.

In 2016, Jury helped senior Courtney Ziese improve her batting average from .281 to .307 on her way to earning 2016 All-ACC second team honors. 

In 2015, Jury coached two players to hit above .300 in ACC play in Maddie Lionberger (.377) and Samantha PIerannunzi (.324) as the Yellow Jackets finished 16-34 overall and 6-18 in ACC play.

In Jury’s first season on the Flats, the Yellow Jackets compiled a 23-24 record and 11-17 mark in ACC play. With Jury’s assistance Tech hitters finished third in the ACC in batting average at .298 and five individual Yellow Jackets hit above .300 in ACC play.

Jury joined the Tech staff from College of Charleston, where he served as the assistant coach in 2012-13.

In 2013, Jury helped the Cougars to a 37-20 record and a second-place finish in the Southern Conference. He assisted four members of the team to earn first-team all-conference honors.

Jury was promoted to assistant coach in 2013 after serving four seasons (2009-12) as the Cougars’ volunteer assistant coach. During that span, Jury coached third baseman Kristie Shifflett to 2009 Southern Conference Player of the Year honors and helped the team to back-to-back 37-win seasons in 2011 and 2012.

A native of Anderson, S.C., Jury graduated from College of Charleston in May 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts in history. His younger sister Leslie Jury pitched for Alabama (2012-15), the 2012 national champion.
