Off the field, Perry is laid back. He cracks jokes in his interviews over Zoom and is honest in his responses. But, as Wilkes said, when the whistle blows he's a different animal. Wilkes had the unfortunate job of being offensive coordinator and seeing Perry on the defensive line ready to work. Always. Never a play off. It helped the Cary offensive linemen come game time after a week worth of seeing Perry lined up against them. "What sticks out the most about Rod is that consistency," Wilkes said. "It wasn't like he had this glimpse of greatness and moments of normalcy. It was always a high level with him. Even at practice, he competed hard. When the play was over or after practice, he was laid back and joking with his teammates. In between the whistle, you know what you were going to get."

Illinois head coach Lovie Smith called Perry a godsend in the offseason. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound defensive tackle came along at the exact perfect time after the Illini lost Jamal Milan, Tymir Oliver and Kenyon Jackson to graduation. In reality, Perry may not have even been available had it not been for COVID-19 postponing the MEAC's season and South Carolina State's coaching staff encouraging Perry to go somewhere he could play immediately. Perry's phone blew up and so too did Wilkes'. In the end it came down to Illinois and Florida and a call from Smith sealed the deal to bring Perry to Champaign. - Herald-Review Times
