Eric Perry gives Memphis a versatile, high-upside back with real dual-threat juice
In the 2025 season, Eric Perry has been a do-it-all weapon at DeSoto Central, piling up 1,113 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns while also throwing for 935 yards and eight scores[2][7]. He’s a 2026 three-star prospect ranked among the nation’s top athletes, and the appeal is obvious: burst, versatility, and the kind of competitive edge that lets a staff get creative with his usage[3][6][8]. Memphis gets a tough, multipurpose playmaker who can fit as a running back but also offers schematic flexibility—exactly the sort of “move him around and let him cook” recruit that can tilt a roster[1][4][5].
