Junior Highlights

10K Junior Highlights - Derrius Perryman highlights - Hudl

Was scrolling through twitter and came across these highlights. For the recruiting guys that follow high school football closely, how good is he? Does he have the potential to play inside, or is he strictly a rushing LB?

 

[TXCANE4]

6'0" and 200 lbs, I'm guessing OLB

 

[Tad Footeball]

I'd almost offer him on name alone if he has half the skill of his brother and a quarter of the character.

Did you know Golden was iffy on offering DP? LOL. Barrow had to push hard for him...

 

[HarrietTubmanCane]

Definite offer. Same burst, quickness, and bad intentions as his brother. Good find OP.

Good thing Golden is gone then, huh?

 

[PUNCICANE]

gets after the QB, but looks like a 5'10 DE

 

[canesplaymaker]

Have seen him play. He does not stand out

yea and Butch didnt want to offer Roscoe Parrish.. happens all the time... saban didnt want Keenan Allen as a WR and now hes a pro bowler

 

[miamilaw07]

I would offer him sight unseen based off the fact that he is DP's brother alone.

 

[The U Code]

I think he would be a good pick up for FIU or FAU.

He looks like he can get after the quarterback but unfortunately, 6' 200 lb defensive ends don't translate to major college football. There's not much footage of him playing in space or at a traditional linebacker spot. He's going to have to show he can play linebacker (not just pass-rusher) .

Yeah was thinking the same thing, looks like a 3-4 OLB at a smaller program. I would like to see him play ILB a little for his senior year, might be a thumper but there's no film to see if he can play in space.

Mike Smith hasn't really shown much and they look similar in terms of ability.

 

[darkhippo7]

could he cut weight and be a safety

Kid better start playing LB ASAP so he can learn the position and more importantly the instincts to play LB in college.

He is too short to play DE and needs a lot of work before he can play LB at the U.

Denzel Perryman had some of the best HS LB film I've ever seen, and it was b/c of his instincts and how quickly he would diagnose a play and get to the the ball.

His little bro has great bloodlines and a nose for the ball, IMO he needs to get his hand outta the dirt and start playing a true LB position sooner rather than later.

His coach is ******** his future up by using him on the line IMO.

LB is a position where you need a lot of reps to develop the type of instincts that make the Spences, Vilmas, Lewis, Perrymans etc...
