Buckeye Commitment Set To Return To Action | Bucknuts.com

Posted by Bill Kurelic on Oct 12, 2010 at 09:24 am

Junior linebacker Joshua Perry (Lewis Center, Ohio/Olentangy), who committed to Ohio State in late June, is set to return to action this weekend.

After an outstanding performance at the Buckeyes' 2-Day Position Camp for rising sophomores and juniors in late June, Perry landed a scholarship offer from Ohio State. He committed to the Buckeyes a couple days later.

The 6-foot-3 and 220-pound Perry sustained a concussion and has missed the last couple of games. However, Perry has been cleared to play and will be back in action on Friday night as the Braves travel to Westerville Central.

On the other side of the line of scrimmage from Perry will be Buckeye senior tight end commitment Nick Vannett.

Olentangy 27, Westerville Central 20 | ThisWeek Sports

The backfield combination of Greathouse and Joshua Perry proved too much for the Warhawks. Greathouse finished with 85 yards on 23 carries and Perry totaled 89 yards on 20 carries to pace Olentangy, whose 345 total yards included 265 on the ground.

"It doesn't register with me," said linebacker Josh Perry, an ESPNU 150 Watch list member out of Olentangy High School in Galena, Ohio. "They have a great coaching staff, and that's all that really matters."

Perry, a junior committed to Ohio State since June 2010, and Ball plan to attend the Buckeyes' spring game Saturday at Ohio Stadium.

Great looking athlete. I think Perry may be under valued because of his early commitment. Dude blew up camp last year.

What meet is that from?

I've ran against Josh and he can flat out move, plus he has some crazy athleticism, as shown by his long jumping.

5/5 @ Olentangy Liberty (Invitational). I was there shooting Olentangy Orange athletes and grabbed a few extra shots of Josh.
