On a roster loaded with seniors, defensive back Joel Perez Joel Perez 5'9" | 160 lbs | DB Passaic Tech | 2025 State NJ was a junior who managed to crack the lineup and contribute in a big way. Last fall Perez made 55 tackles (39 solos), 1 TFL, 1 FF, 2 FR, and 5 Ints – one of which was an pick-six. The first thing that pops out on film about Perez is that he has a penchant for dislodging and disrupting the ball. Either by leading with his shoulder when tackling or getting handsy with an incoming pass attempt, Perez forces his teammates to engage in the tip drill and the scoop-and-score drill. Discipline is also a part of his game too, as we see him stay in his zone when receivers vacate and opens up his hips to the correct leverage he must play. Perez does play back in coverage a bit; however, this is fruitful as he does not let anyone get behind him. Lastly, Perez does a nice job of tacking with the correct leverage and does not peek inside too often. Perez’s film would be even more impressive should he include clips of him driving on the ball and clips of him against common passing concepts.
