Khurtiss Perry brings high-end recruiting pedigree and disruptive DL upside to Jacksonville State
Perry is a former consensus four-star defensive lineman with a reputation for being a **heavy-handed, high-effort run stopper** who can also flash **big-hit** disruption at the point of attack.[5][7] After limited early college action at Alabama and Virginia Tech, he produced for Jacksonville State in the **2025 season** with **12 solo tackles and 2 sacks**, showing rotational value and some pass-rush bite.[2][3][6] The fit question is less about talent and more about whether a staff wants a physical interior defender with upside who can win with power, toughness, and motor rather than pure twitch.[1][5][7]
