Height, Weight: 6-4, 360.

247Sports Composite Rankings: He is ranked as the No. 768 overall recruit in the country, the No. 86 defensive lineman and the No. 38 player out of Ohio.

Commitment Date: Perez committed to Ohio State on July 4, 2025.

Other Offers: Alabama, Cincinnati, Florida, Iowa, Iowa State, Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, Michigan State, Purdue, Syracuse, Vanderbilt, West Virginia.

How He Did In High School: Perez helped lead Glenville to an 11-win season in 2024. The Tarblooders had five shutouts with Perez on the team.

Where He Fits For 2026: Ohio State may have to replace a couple of its main contributors at defensive tackle from the 2025 team, but Perez is one of the lower-rated prospects in Ohio States’ 2026 class, so he may need some time to develop in Columbus.
