Early years

Although he was born in North Carolina, he grew up in Oceanside, California and attended Oceanside High School. With the perennial powerhouse Oceanside Pirates he played middle linebacker in his freshman year before switching to wide receiver.[1] He led his team to the CIF Championship. As a senior, he caught 57 passes for 1112 yards in earning all-county honors.

Professional baseball

Perez, one of California's top outfielders and wide receivers in high school, initially committed to attending SDSU, where he would play both college football under Tom Craft and college baseball under Tony Gwynn.[2] However, Perez—who grew up a Yankee fan—instead accepted a six-figure bonus to play with Yankees. He played minor league baseball in the Yankee organization for three seasons before being released.

College football

Perez then joined SDSU's football team as a walk-on, where was converted from receiver to cornerback.[3][4][5] Perez received an honorable mention for the All-Mountain West team in his senior year.[6]

Professional football

Perez was signed by the Miami Dolphins as undrafted free agent in 2011, but was released in the preseason.[3][7]
