Prior to committing to Central Florida in Apri, Perry also held offers from Auburn, Duke, Georgia Tech, Houston, Indiana, LSU, Maryland, Ole Miss, NC State, Oklahoma, Pitt and Vanderbilt. In 2023, Perry was named the Georgia Region 4-7A Defensive Player of the Year.
Aside from offering a 2025 player this late in the recruiting calendar, this is an interesting offer when you take a look at Penn State’s current Class of 2025.
