He looks like a very long athlete.
Is he camping any where this summer? I love to hear how he's growing into that length and whether we may be talking about a LB'er of DE?
Either way kid is gonna be a beast.

Tough foes await Olentangy's Perry in state meet

Olentangy's Josh Perry competes in the 110 hurdles during the D-I regional meet Wednesday, May 25, at Pickerington North.
Two of Olentangy's track and field athletes make a return to the Division I state meet after qualifying at regionals Wednesday, May 25, and Friday, May 27, at Pickerington North.
The boys finished in 23rd place, scoring 13 points, and Josh Perry moved on to the next round in the long jump, placing third (21 feet, 8 1/2 inches).
"He has been very consistent this year," boys coach Brad Komenda said.
Perry was state runner-up last year and faces competition that includes Massillon Washington's Devin Smith, the 2010 state champ, and Springfield's Josh Bass, 2009's state winner.
Facing such a strong lineup, Perry will need to meet or better his best jump from this season.
"He has the capability to hit 23 (feet)," Komenda said. "He'll probably need that to win it this year."
Perry also came in sixth in the 110-meter hurdles (15.15).
"He ran a great time" Komenda said. "I can't be upset with how he did at all."
Bryce Cheek, Colin McShane and Anthony Outley joined Perry in the 400 relay and ran the fastest time by a Braves squad since 1982, coming in fifth (43.39).
"They did pretty well this year," Komenda said.

Versatile Perry someone offenses want to avoid

High-school football: Versatile Perry someone offenses want to avoid
LEWIS CENTER, Ohio ? Joshua Perry is big, strong, fast, versatile, intelligent and the ultimate team player. But the Olentangy outside linebacker/defensive end doesn?t put a great deal of stock in his statistics.
?All I?m focused on is doing my job and, hopefully, part of that is having a big impact on the game,? Perry said. ?The way our defense is designed, a big part of my job is to chase down ball carriers so the other guys can make the tackles. I take it as a real compliment when teams game plan around me.?
The 6-foot-4, 235-pound Perry received that sort of praise from Westerville South coach Rocky Pentello after the Wildcats went scrambling back to the drawing board at halftime in a victory over Olentangy last season.
?We came out in the second half and wherever (Perry) lined up, we ran the other way,? Pentello told This WeekCommunity Newspapers.
Although Perry had only begun to reveal his potential, Ohio State coaches saw enough of him to extend a scholarship offer just two days into their camp in June 2010. He committed on the spot, becoming the first recruit of the Buckeyes? 2012 class.
There?s a lot to like about Perry. A three-sport athlete, he placed second and fifth in the state in the Division I long jump the past two seasons with a personal-best 23 feet. He also competes as a sprinter, hurdler and high jumper. A starter in basketball, Perry specializes in defense and rebounding.
During his seven years playing football, he was used on the offensive line, at safety, quarterback, receiver and running back before settling on the current hybrid role, which he is projected to play at Ohio State. He is rated as the No. 1 senior prospect in Ohio by JJHuddle.com and one of the top 25 linebackers in the country by Rivals.com.
