RECRUITING: Bishop Gorman DB Alex Perry commits to Arizona State

Bishop Gorman senior defensive back Alex Perry made an oral commitment to Arizona State on Tuesday.

Perry’s commitment is nonbinding, and the first day he can sign a letter of intent is Feb. 1. Arizona State’s coaches cannot comment until that time.

Perry made his announcement through his Twitter account.

Perry previously committed to the Sun Devils as a sophomore before he backed off that pledge in February and re-opened his recruitment. His brother Armand is a redshirt sophomore at Arizona State and starts at free safety.

The 5-foot-10-inch, 165-pound Perry made 24 tackles with 0.5 sacks as the Gaels earned their eighth straight Class 4A state title. He had two special-teams touchdowns this past season, including a 58-yard punt return for a score in the state final, and was a first-team All-Southwest League performer.

Perry had more than a dozen reported scholarship offers and chose Arizona State over several other Pac-12 schools, along with Michigan, North Carolina and Oklahoma.
