Perez is a three-star prospect in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports. He holds a 247Sports rating of 88, and is listed at 6-foot-4 and 360 pounds.
Perez ranks as the No. 75 defensive lineman in 247Sports' rankings for the 2026 class. He is also listed as the No. 26 player from Ohio in the class.
Despite a relatively lower ranking, Perez has received notable interest from numerous big-time schools, including Ohio State, Alabama and Florida. All three of those schools, along with Purdue, Iowa State, Wisconsin, Vanderbilt, Cincinnati, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisville, Syracuse, Maryland, West Virginia and numerous group of five programs have extended him an offer.
According to 247Sports, Perez is set to take official visits to Vanderbilt, Iowa State, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Purdue over the next month. Michigan State will surely be pushing to add an official visit to his list should they want to compete with these other schools for his commitment.

Colorado football offers multiple currently committed 2026 recruits
Colorado's 2026 recruiting class has been developing slowly, ranking No. 80 in the nation, according to 247 Sports. However, the Buffaloes aren't out of time and are still sending out offers to impactful players. On Wednesday, the Buffaloes offered three-star defensive lineman and current Kentucky commit Ben Duncum and three-star offensive tackle and San Jose State commit Josiah Manu. Both have been committed to their schools for over a month, and neither has visited Boulder. Still, the name, image and likeness era delivers surprise commitment flips every day, and there's a good chance that the Buffaloes might be able to flip one or both before the end of the season. Duncum is especially intriguing as a prospect and could be a candidate to be elevated to four-star status. Out of Lake Travis High School in Texas, Duncum has a motor that doesn't stop and size that would allow him to fit into whatever role the Buffaloes need. At 6-foot-5 and only 255, Duncum will need to add weight to perform at the next level, but he's proven himself at that size. In his junior season, he racked up 61 total tackles, an impressive mark for a defensive lineman. What's not as encouraging is his pass-rushing stats; of the 61 total tackles, only five were tackles for loss and two were sacks. He does possess a knack for finding the ball, forcing two fumbles. A local product out of Loveland, Colorado, Manu appears on paper to be the prospect the Buffaloes could flip the easiest. Aside from the proximity to home, Buffaloes are Manu's second power-four offer, with the other being fellow Big 12 school Arizona. Standing at 6-foot-5 and 295, Manu already brings elite size for a freshman at the position. A two-way player in high school, Manu has a lot of bend and wins a lot of his matchups by simply being stronger than his opponent. Like Duncum, Manu's motor doesn't quit, and he routinely finishes blocks to the turf. Both sides of the trenches are key for the Buffaloes to continue their ascent, not just in the Big 12, but in the college football world as a whole. A flip from either of these recruits to Colorado would be a significant addition to a recruiting class that has not met the quality we have come to expect from head coach Deion Sanders.
