Watch the first clip on Ouahbi’s junior highlight video to see the big-play ability. Stay to see it repeated. Ouahbi is a well-rounded running back just as likely to run over defenders as he is to run away from them. He rushed for 700 yards (5.7 YPC) and four touchdowns even though opponents knew they had to stop him to stop Perry. His frame can comfortably add mass and strength without the loss of speed and quickness, which should start showing up more this fall with another offseason of training under his belt. The traits that make him an effective running back also would work on defense. He should contribute on special teams, too.
Ouahbi really put together a fine all-around season for Perry in 2025. The Bluejay junior rushed for 700 yards (5.7 YPC) and four touchdowns. He registered 26.5 tackles, 17 of which were of the solo variety. Ouahbi posted 3.0 tackles for loss, a forced fumble and an interception, too. I look forward to seeing his 11th-grade highlight video being compiled. For now, the clips that are housed on his Hudl page do give us a glimpse into his skills on the gridiron. There’s a ton of potential running the ball. He’s a mix of power and speed with keen vision. He gets downhill quickly and has another gear in the open field. There’s upside on defense, too, as a safety capable of crashing down on the run or sticking with pass catchers in coverage.
Ouahbi rushed for 217 yards as a sophomore last season. He added 24.5 tackles, 17 of which were of the solo variety. Ouahbi’s Hudl page does not include a highlight video but does house footage from individual games during her 10th-grade season. Those clips reveal a ball carrier with an intriguing skill set. Keen vision leads him to the open creases, and he hits the hole hard. Ouahbi looks like he’s gliding as a taller back. He’ll need to be aware of running too upright, but his frame also is capable of adding mass without him losing the traits that make him successful now.
