Brandon Perry, CB, Wingate | 2027 NFL Draft Prospect Zoom Interview
Brandon Perry returns as a veteran presence in the Wingate secondary for the 2026 season, bringing the athleticism and versatility to impact the game in multiple phases. A First Team All-SAC selection in 2025, Perry recorded 12 pass breakups while consistently displaying the range and instincts to make plays on the ball. His speed and explosiveness are rooted in a track and field background at Porter Ridge High School, traits that help him stay tight in coverage and close quickly on passes. Perry also provides valuable leadership to a Wingate defense looking to reclaim the conference championship after being selected No. 1 in the 2026 SAC Preseason Poll.
Perry is a high-motor defender with strong football intelligence, agility, physicality and playmaking ability. He reads quarterbacks well and anticipates routes, often baiting throws into perceived coverage before using his quickness and acceleration to close on the ball and disrupt the play. His change-of-direction skills allow him to remain competitive through breaks, while his physical approach at the line of scrimmage enables him to jam receivers and disrupt the timing of routes. His impact also extends to special teams, where he serves as a dependable gunner who consistently gets downfield to help limit opposing field position. Perry’s athleticism, coverage instincts and relentless approach make him a well-rounded defensive back and a key player to watch in his final season at Wingate.
