DL Jamir Perez (Official Thread)

Newest player in the fold for the Ohio State Buckeyes makes honest admission on why he had to spurn major SEC team​

Perez recently opened up about his decision to flip on the Austin & Birm podcast, admitting he made a mistake by rushing into his commitment to Florida:
“Personally, for me, it feels great. It’s been a lot on the build-up side, and for me, all the offers were such a rush. You know, my sophomore year, I was injured… and in my junior year, I had a broken hand and wrist, but I still played through that adversity. So once the offseason hit, I just started blowing up out of nowhere. Everything was such a rush—like, ‘What should I do?’ I was so excited, and that commitment to Florida… I kind of rushed it because I didn’t really understand the politics of the game today.”
The coaches weren’t particularly pushing me to commit—it was mainly me. I didn’t fully understand everything at the time, and I thought Florida was the best option for me. So I can’t entirely blame myself. But recently, not too long ago, I decommitted. And in the weeks leading up to it, I had been questioning whether I made the right decision, or if it was just all a rush, you know
Perez is listed at 6-foot-4 and 360 pounds, though he currently plays much leaner. He has the tools to be a dominant presence in the middle, and his relatively low national ranking (No. 679 overall) likely doesn’t reflect the strides he’s made over the past year.

Said he came in at 373 and is now down to 348 and belly is gone. Said he's on a diet so he doesn't go out to eat. Said when he came in he could bench 225 22 times and now is close to 30 reps.

Also said Cincere looks waaay different now. Like a mini Arvell. Just shook his head and said wait until you see him. Made it sound like he's grown and also leaned up at the same time it's pretty wild. Perez said "my guy got big."
