disruptive Bearcats interior DL with a nose for splash plays
In the 2022 season, Dominique Perry showed the kind of interior presence that can tilt a game: he battled through injuries, still logged six appearances, and turned a 14-yard fumble return into a touchdown against Indiana, a classic momentum-swinger. He was a 6-foot-2, 290-pound defensive lineman who brought leverage, effort, and toughness to Cincinnati’s front, with 17 career tackles over 17 games from 2020-2023. If you wanted a high-motor, sturdy run-defending body who could also create a sudden chaos play, Perry fit the mold.
