Jacob Perez brings an underrated linebacker frame and steady 2025 production to Idaho State
Perez is a 6-foot-3, 229-pound linebacker who appeared in 10 games in the 2025 season and produced 23 total tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 1 sack, and 1 pass breakup, giving Idaho State a physical, assignment-sound defender with measurable upside.[1] What makes him interesting is the blend of size and disruptive flashes rather than pure volume: he has already shown he can get into the backfield and finish plays, and his progression from no game action in 2023-24 to a rotational contributor in 2025 suggests a player trending the right way.[1][2]
