Article on OL Jeremy Perry from local Hawaii paper

Here's a decent article about rising star offensive lineman Jeremy Perry.

Worth the Wait: Redshirting Jeremy Perry has worked in the Beavers' favor

The story does a good job recounting his start at Oregon State and how he almost didn't redshirt last year. But there are a few good tidbits in this article that are new:

"We're working on improving his fundamentals. Sometimes he gets overextended on his run blocks. Jeremy is just a young guy who can be a little raw, but repetitions are the greatest teacher for someone to become very proficient. I think eventually he will be an Outland Trophy finalist."

I would love to see Oregon State become offensive lineman "U".

One thing that helped Perry adjust is the availability of local food.

"Right off campus, about a 5-minute walk, is a Local Boyz," Perry said. "They have a lot of local food and they have sticky rice and mac salad."

Good to know that we have a distinct recuiting advantage with Local Boyz in town!

Frank was switched from defense to offense this year. Cavanaugh says he and Thompson have the potential to start.

For some reason I hadn't heard this. I thought Naymon was going to be the next stud defensive tackle for the Beavs. Hope he does well on the O-line.
