Efficient freshman guard with academic grit and upside at Southern Virginia
In the 2025-26 season, Southern Virginia freshman Jonathan Peery is a 6-foot-3 guard who has appeared in limited action, but his profile already pops: high-academic, high-character, and the kind of wire-to-wire team piece coaches usually love to keep around. His listed strengths include MVP-level high school honors, three straight Academic All-Conference selections, and the size to defend multiple backcourt spots. He looks like a developmental fit for a program that values discipline, shooting growth, and toughness more than empty box-score noise.
