DePerno was one of the leading rushers in the area last season, but he didn’t make a ton of receptions out of the backfield. I expect him to be more involved in the passing game this season.

Read EvaluationJordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
At 5’9” 200 lbs. DePerno possesses a good combination of strength and speed as a ball carrier. He shows good vision and spatial awareness to know where defenders are and attack open running lanes to get to space. Makes quick and sudden lateral cuts to make the first guy miss at the LOS and then can use his speed to weave through second level defenders. Like his ability to run through contact and maintain forward momentum with good leverage and leg drive. Able to pick up good yardage between the tackles and to the perimeter. Earned All CIF and All League selections after almost 1,300 scrimmage yards and 22 touchdowns as a junior. He’s a high ceiling prospect that holds an offer from UNLV and has the potential to add more. Also was a top performer at the PRZ Collegiate Showcase in January.

Read EvaluationZack Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
DePerno stood out as having the most college-ready frame and build out of the RB group measuring in at 5’9”/200. He’s a powerful athlete that showed explosive tendencies in his short-range movement, recording the second-best numbers in the shuttle (4.4s) and L-Drill (7.24s) among the RBs. On tape, he hits the hole hard at the first level, moves extremely fluid with the ball in his hands, and sustains churning leg drive through contact. DePerno was the leading playmaker for West Ranch’s offense last season, posting over 1,100 rushing yards and 20 TDs as a junior.

DePerno ran for 1,148 yards with 20 touchdowns for West Ranch this season.
He has good field vision with above average speed. I am interested in seeing him run routes out of the backfield.
