High-upside JUCO scorer with burst, shot-making, and a real backcourt spark
KJ Perry arrives as one of the most intriguing guard prospects in BYU’s pipeline: in the 2024-25 season at Citrus College, he averaged 17.5 points per game while shooting 49.5% from the field and 34.7% from three, and he posted a 48-point outburst that underlines his scorer’s mentality[1][2]. BYU and recruiting outlets described him as a dynamic, explosive guard who can create for teammates and bring athleticism to the backcourt, which makes him more than just a bucket-getter[2][3]. He was ranked the No. 1 JUCO player in the country, so the buzz is real; the only catch is he’s been expected to redshirt before becoming a roster-impact option, so the payoff is more future-facing than immediate[2][3].
