Perry made his first start as a right guard at Kentucky on Oct. 25, totaling 49 offensive snaps. He also started at right guard versus Oklahoma on Nov. 1, playing 46 offensive snaps and did not allow a sack.
Perry started at right tackle and had his first playing time at right guard on the road versus Alabama on Oct. 18.
Ahead of playing at Florida (3-7, 2-5 SEC) on Saturday in Week 13, Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel discussed Perry's progression at right guard this season.
"I think, in general, Jesse feels good about playing inside," Heupel said. "He's felt that way. When David (Sanders Jr.) was gone, all of his work came out at the tackle position. I think a week or two of work back on the inside has let him get back to the true comfort that he has there."
