C.J. Perry is a tackling-volume linebacker with impact-play upside for Southern Miss
C.J. Perry’s appeal is his production: Southern Miss lists multiple strong tackle outings, including a double-digit tackle game against Louisiana Tech and a game with two tackles for loss, while ESPN shows 33 solo tackles and 1.5 sacks on his profile. He looks like a downhill, active linebacker who can finish plays near the ball and flash backfield disruption, which matters if you want a physical, instinctive defender rather than a pure stat-line merchant. The main fit question is consistency and how much he can expand beyond run support into a broader every-down role.
