Hidden Auburn RB Sensation Breaks the Scale
Eric Perry Jr., a three-star running back commit to Auburn from DeSoto Central, has turned heads all season with extraordinary dual-threat performances. In his latest outing, he amassed 200 rushing yards and four touchdowns on just six carries (a staggering 33.3 yards per tote) while tossing 88 yards and an additional score in a single half. A week earlier, he gashed top-10 Tennessee power Germantown for nearly 250 rushing yards and four first-half majors, handing them their lone loss of the season. With another showdown looming against No. 2 Tupelo High, Perry continues to prove the star–rating system sorely underestimated his talent.
Oh, the irony of a superstar in full bloom being saddled with a mere three stars—as if Auburn fans haven’t been here before, crowning every “hidden gem” who explodes for 200-yard games. One can almost picture scouts squinting through binoculars on a smoke break, muttering, “Did we see that?” Perry’s about to turn college defenses into scenic props on his highlight reel, and suddenly the recruiting world will rewrite its scouting manual using crayon. When he arrives on the Plains in January, those star-rating apologists will be jockeying for his autograph—assuming they can catch him.
