Q&A with Howland quarterback John Perry​


Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes, I definitely want to play sports in college. Football is definitely my favorite sport, and I will do everything in my power to make that happen. All I want is the chance to compete for a position to play football at the next level. In addition to playing football, I also would consider playing basketball, and running track if it would help my college team win or do better.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“Unfortunately I have not been too actively recruited yet. I’ve gotten several colleges to show interest in me on recruiting websites but have yet to say I'm officially being recruited. [I’m] hoping that after the season my team and I have this year (my junior year), they will start rolling in.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I’d say I’ve had the most interest from Ashland, Oberlin, and possibly Edinboro. But I would not consider recruiting hard YET.”

“I have not made any official college trips yet, but have been checking out the campuses and facilities at several universities when going to the football camps. After focusing on football, and my upcoming junior season, I plan to take some college trips.”

What camps did you attend this summer? How did the camps go overall?
“In the off season I attended several camps this summer trying to improve my game, and to see different college campuses. I went to: 4/3/22 College Coaches Showcase Camp at Otterbein College in Westerville Ohio, 4/23/22 The Top 200 Prospect Camp at Hiram, 6/5/22 The Rising Star camp at Pitt, 6/8/22 All Position Prospect Camp at Youngstown State University, 6/13/22 The Grit Camp at Youngstown State University, 6/17/22 The Akron Prospects Camp, 6/18/22 The Mega Camp at Kent State,
6/25/22 The Elite One-day camp at Bowling Green State University and on 7/9/22 and 7/10/22 The Legit Rare All-American Championship series camp in Canton Ohio at the Hall of Fame Village.

The camps went really well. I learned some new drills to work on. I also got in a lot of reps. But the most beneficial thing I think was getting the chance to compete against some top-tier athletes. Especially in one on ones, and 7 on 7s. The competition was incredible, and I believe it will improve my game going against such great athletes who also aspire to play football at the next level.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Ohio State has always been my favorite college growing up.”
