“Perry had a team-leading three interceptions and finished third on the team with 72 tackles. Of the Buffs that played at least 200 defensive snaps, Perry graded out as CU's ninth best defender, according to Pro Football Focus.
Perry saw action in eight games on defense as a true freshman in 2019, and was a starter in all five regular season games during the abbreviated 2020 season. He struggled with consistency during his three seasons with the Buffs, but showed a substantial amount of improvement in 2021.
Perry participated with CU's track and field team last spring. He was the second leg for the 4x100 relay team that clocked in at 40.11-seconds at the Air Force Twilight open, the best performance for CU last spring and the sixth best mark in CU history. Perry also ran the 100-meter dash four times with a best of 10.65, the top mark of any CU runner in 2021.”
Buffs’ roster listed him at 6’0”, 200 lb.
