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]

gollark: I check Wikipedia rather than using the (surprisingly small) database dump, partly because the database dump is text-only and the software for viewing it is lacking, and partly because there's just no particular reason to not use the online one.
gollark: Can you *not* just browse it online as normal people do?
gollark: Not really sure how to express that without (*EVIL*) dynamically generating SQL, or filtering the rows in JS after they're retrieved...
gollark: I've *just* realized that I think the behavior I want is probably requiring *all* the flags in the query to be present, not *one* of them, so this query is mostly useless, if cool.
gollark: I'm now wondering if I should store the device hash things in the database or just generate them as stuff is displayed.
