FIGHT TO THE END: OHIO STATE LINEBACKER JOSHUA PERRY
Ohio State's 2015 senior class has a chance to win its 50th game over a four-year period New Year's Day in the Fiesta Bowl against Notre Dame. Before kickoff in their final collegiate game, Eleven Warriors will take a brief look back at each player's time in Columbus.
WHERE HE'S FROM
Joshua Perry, the first member to pledge to Ohio State as part of the 2012 recruiting class, endured a pair of coaching transitions before even suiting up for the Buckeyes. Jim Tressel resigned, Luke Fickell took over for the 2011 season and then Urban Meyer arrived for Perry's freshman campaign a year later.
From nearby Galena, Ohio, Perry is a true senior, having lettered as a freshman by playing extensively on special teams. He entered the program in January 2012 after graduating high school early, dead set on contributing immediately and leaving his mark.
Mission accomplished.
"He's what college football is all about," Meyer said during Ohio State's title run in January. "He has an incredible ability to make someone's day a little brighter, and he takes that very serious. A great young man."
"What time is it? 4:14," Ohio State Vice President and Director of Athletics Gene Smith said multiple times. "I'd hire him at 4:15. That guy is a stud."
