Isai Perez brings proven JUCO production and nose-tackle size to Utah Tech
In the 2025 season, Isai Perez arrived at Utah Tech as one of the most seasoned defensive-line additions, built on a 2023 junior-college breakout with 45 tackles, 11.0 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks in 10 games at Los Angeles Valley College, where he earned all-America and defensive player of the year honors. Utah Tech listed him as a 6-foot-3, 310-pound nose tackle in 2025, though he sat out that season as a redshirt, so the current question is projection rather than game tape. The appeal is obvious: big frame, disruptive backfield history, and a blue-collar interior profile that fits a team needing run-stopping juice and interior push.
