Perry played safety for five seasons[1] at the University of Alabama[2] coming out of Prattville High School[citation needed] under Nick Saban. There he won consecutive BCS National Championships in 2011 and 2012. He was not selected during the 2015 NFL draft, so Perry signed as an undrafted free agent with the Ravens[3] and was on their practice squad[4] during 2015. In 2016 he was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles,[5] but was released after training camp.
Perry began his coaching career at his alma mater in Alabama in 2017[6] as a graduate assistant.[7] He remained a graduate assistant[8] until the end of the 2017 when he was given the title of analyst for the 2019 season.
In 2021 Perry made the jump to the NFL as an assistant defensive backs coach for the Atlanta Falcons.[9] In 2023 he switched positions and became the assistant wide receivers coach for the Falcons.
