What's a box Safety? Why is 6'3 and 200lbs not a candidate for FS or a "legitimate" FS. Not following you.

Many people have said that he isn't all that good in coverage and he has "stiff hips"; it's not because he is 6'3". A box safety is a safety that makes most of his plays towards the LOS; a good box safety is very helpful against teams like Georgia Tech and Navy.

EDIT: Apparently the staff sees things differently as Spencer said in an interview with II that he is being recruited as a FS

Instant Impact

Given the depth chart, Perry and any other 2016 safeties will probably have a chance to work their way into the rotation as true freshmen. In 2016, Elijah Shumate will be gone and Max Redfield, perish the thought, could leave for the NFL that spring. Likely starters would be Drue Tranquill and Mykelti Williams, believe it or not, with Ashton White and perhaps fifth-year Nicky Baratti in the two deep. Perry could end up playing a role similar to Drue Tranquill in 2014 - spot duty as a safety or hybrid linebacker.

Long Term / Career

There are a lot of long-term possibilities for Perry. If he stays lean and hones his coverage skills, he could become a multi-year starter at strong safety. If he bulks up say 10-15 pounds - hardly unlikely - he could slide down to SAM or perhaps even fill a super-hybrid role like Florida State's Jalen Ramsey or former Irish stalwart Jamoris Slaughter. Whatever happens, it seems a safe bet that Perry will be in the mix for the Irish for a substantial portion of his career.

BGI Film Eval: Spencer Perry

Bryan Driskell
BlueandGold.com

Notre Dame continues its hot streak from its June 19 Irish Invasion, picking up its fourth commitment from prospects that attended that event. It is the fifth total commitment for the Irish since the event began.

Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy safety Spencer Perry is the latest player to choose the Irish, becoming the 10th player to commit to Notre Dame in the 2016 class.

Perry is a big pickup for Notre Dame in another regard. Safety was arguably the biggest need for the Irish coaching staff when it went to work on the 2016 class. Notre Dame came up a man short in the 2015 class and will lose at least three safeties - and possibly up to five - after the 2015 season.

Landing Perry gives Notre Dame its second safety commitment in the class. The first, Virginia standout Jalen Elliott, is a free safety/cornerback prospect while Perry is more of a strong safety/nickel back prospect. Getting Elliott and Perry together gives Notre Dame a 1-2 punch on the backend that can play together. That was an absolute must for the Irish in this class.

Moving forward, the goal will be to add depth the class, which the Irish staff will continue to do. Perry also has the size and strength potential to grow into an athletic linebacker, making him highly versatile as a prospect. He is exactly the kind of player Notre Dame needed on the defense in this class, which will likely be smaller than previous seasons.

Rivals.com lists Perry as a three-star prospect, but he is an up-and-coming player that should see his ranking get a bump now that he is playing in a more visible region and school. Even if that bump does not come, landing Perry is a significant on-the-field pickup for the Notre Dame staff.

Notre Dame beat out a number of top programs to pick up the former Florida commit. Perry was offered by Auburn, Clemson, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Michigan State, Mississippi State, Ohio State, Oregon, Pittsburgh and Vanderbilt among many others.

SPENCER PERRY, SAFETY




SCHOOL: IMG Academy

HOMETOWN: Bradenton, Florida

HGT/WGT: 6-3, 205

BGI RATING: -star
RIVALS RATING: 3-star
ESPNU RATING: 4-star
SCOUT RATING: 3-star
24/7 RATING: 3-star

RECRUITER: Autry Denson

JUNIOR HIGHLIGHTS


QUICK LOOK: Landing Perry is key for the Notre Dame coaching staff.
It fills a major need, giving the Irish its second safety and third defensive back commitment in the 2016 class. Perry is a long, rangy and physical safety that projects to play the strong safety/nickel position in the Irish defense. He shows good instincts in the pass game, does a good job playing off the hash and drives well on routes in front of him. His athletic skills will allow him to handle tight ends in man coverage and allow him to be a very rangy run defender.

Below is a more extensive evaluation of Spencer Perry, followed by his position grades.

FRAME / STRENGTH

STRENGTHS:

Excellent all-around frame - Long at 6-3, 205 - Athletic build

Has the frame that can be streamlined, keeping him around 215-220 pounds

Also has the type of frame that could be bulked up, making him a 230-235 pound linebacker

Physical athlete that likes to hit and knock people back - Very aggressive style of play

Size and strength potential alone gives him the potential to play four different positions on the defense


AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT:

The normal areas for all young football players - Keep getting stronger, keep working hard, go from high school strong to college strong

If he wants to stay at safety he will have to watch his weight, especially early in his career

Has to continue building up his lower body, which right now is on the thin side


At 6-3 and 205 pounds, Perry has ideal size and length for the safety position. He has an athletic frame and a strong build. Perry has extremely long legs and arms, possessing broad shoulders and a naturally thick core. Perry is a bit on the skinny side right now in the lower body, but the frame is there for that to ultimately become a strength of his after a couple of seasons in the strength and conditioning program.

Perry is a strong athlete at this point in his development. He is aggressive and physical, showing a willingness to mix it up and the ability to deliver punishing blows on running backs and wide receivers. His natural strength is a weapon for him right now, and additional strength and improved technique will only enhance his ability to play physical football.

His long frame, natural strength, athletic build, growth potential and physicality makes him a potential candidate to one day grow into a nickel safety or even a linebacker. There are two directions Notre Dame can go with Perry in regards to building him up moving forward.

The first way is to keep his size within about 10-15 pounds of where he is right now. This would be the objective if keeping him on the backend is the objective. Director of Football Strength and Conditioning Paul Longo could then focus on improving his flexibility and strength. This would allow Perry to stay at safety and become a more agile player off the hash and in the pass game.

The second is to work on adding girth to his frame, allowing his athletic frame to be built upon. Perry does not have the kind of frame that will naturally allow him to get to 235-240 pounds, but he does have a frame that could be developed to get to at least 230 pounds. It would take work, but with his build he could certainly get to that size, maintain his athleticism and turn into an athletic linebacker.

His game is built for both positions, which is ideal for the Notre Dame staff. They can let his body make part of the decision but can also move him based on recruiting success at other positions. If Notre Dame continues landing top-level linebackers, Perry can stay on the back end. If Notre Dame falls short at linebacker but loads up in this class - and the next - on safeties the staff could easily transition him to linebacker.

The moral of the story is Perry has the unique combination of size potential, athletic skills and toughness to play strong safety, nickel, Sam linebacker or even Will linebacker. That versatility makes him a highly valuable prospect in regards to his on-the-field skills.

ATHLETIC SKILLS

STRENGTHS:

Long and rangy athlete - Chews up a lot of ground

Impressive speed - Sometimes needs a step or two, but once he gets going he can really move and get places in a hurry

Good acceleration which allows him to close
well on ball carriers

Above-average foot speed and quickness

Shows good quickness with his pedal, works
well laterally and shows impressive quickness
when planting and driving downhill


AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT:

Better downhill than he is opening up

Has some tightness in the hips, which slows down his transitions

Needs to work on consistency opening up and working off the hash - Speed and skills are there, but technique can cause him to stiffen
up at times

Must work on flexibility and continue
improving agility


Perry's athleticism fits his body type. He possesses a long and rangy frame and shows a rangy athletic skill set. Perry uses his long legs and long strides to cover a lot of ground in a hurry. Right now his athleticism shows itself the best when he is coming downhill. Perry is very comfortable planting his feet and driving up the field with impressive speed and force.

Perry has above-average agility and foot quickness. He is quick with his backpedal and can quickly plant his feet and drive downhill. I also like his lateral quickness and ability to quickly shuffle his feet, read the offense and then quickly plant and drive. Perry is most comfortable making these types of movements, where he keeps things in front of him, he can plant and then quickly accelerate without having to open up.

I have used the word "downhill" a lot to describe Perry's game. That is very much where his game is at right now. He wants to get downhill and he closes on ball carriers with impressive speed and force. At this point in his development he is better playing that style, and more comfortable. His athleticism is ideally suited to play in robber coverages, where he can come down and either drive on quick cutting routes, pick up crossers or to cover tight ends.

Perry is just okay flipping his hips. There is some tightness in his transitions, which you see the most when he is asked to step up and play man coverage. This was obvious when watching him at Irish Invasion and watching him in coverage at other camps over the summer. As was discussed, he is quick with his pedal but his transitions when opening up and working backwards are not as smooth.

This limits his coverage skills a bit, which is discussed below.

When Perry can make wider transitions, like he does when working in deep coverage, he is quicker and smoother. These types of movements allow him to quickly start to run, where he can use his length and speed to overcome his lack of ideal flexibility through his core.

PASS GAME

STRENGTHS:

Very good in robber coverage, where he has
the speed to run with crossing routes

Has the length and range to play off the hash
in deep coverage, primarily in half-field
coverages, not as a deep middle safety

Shows good instincts and anticipation - Reads routes well, reads the quarterback well and
can mirror in coverage

Possesses the length and athleticism to handle tight ends and H-back type athletes in man coverage

Should be able to develop into a player that is disruptive in the pass game due to his ability
to react well, combined with his ability to
deliver punishing blows

Is good with off-man coverage, even against faster players, which gives him position
flexibility


AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT:

Not ideally suited for press or tight-man coverage against faster players

Lacks the quick twitch athleticism to play up near the line of scrimmage against faster
players

Not comfortable using his hands at the line of scrimmage, so work is needed in that department

Footwork can get erratic, which also factors
into his slower transitions


In some areas, Perry is a very good pass defender. He is excellent as a zone defender, especially when allowed to keep things in front of him. This means he can play down in the box, either replacing a blitzing linebacker or on the perimeter. Perry uses his range and downhill playing style to quickly get into the underneath zones. He is also adept at picking up crossing routes and closing on them well. Perry not only can run with those routes, but he is good at using his length and strength to knock receivers off their path, throwing off the timing of the pass play.

Perry is also good at the deep zone coverages. The IMG safety is able to overcome his slower transitions on the back end, where he uses his incredible length and good speed to quickly get off the hash. Perry is instinctive on the back end, which helps him read routes and get good breaks on double moves. Perry is also good at reading routes in front of him, seeing the quarterback and quickly driving on the football. Perry's ability to get to full speed quickly combines well with his raw power to deliver punishing blows on receivers coming into his zone.

His length and speed allows him to handle tight ends and H-backs in the pass game. Perry can come up tight and run with those types of players on shorter routes and he has the transition ability to open up and run with those types of players in man coverage. Against smaller players, Perry will have to be used either in zone coverage or off-man coverage. He is not quick enough or comfortable enough to jam at the line and then open up and run with faster players.

When allowed to play off-man, Perry can use his instincts and range to keep faster players in front of him. He will see their vertical release much sooner, which he can then react to. With his length and speed he is able to open up and run with deep routes when playing off. This eliminates his biggest weakness, which is quickly opening up and running with a faster player when both are starting in a stationary position.

His athletic skill set is very similar to current Notre Dame safety Elijah Shumate. Like Shumate, Perry is not an ideal press or tight man defender. You will not want to see him lined up at the line of scrimmage against a quicker wide receiver. He lacks the hips and change-of-direction ability to handle that, and he is not comfortable in that part of the game.

But like Shumate, he is explosive playing downhill. Where Perry has an advantage over Shumate is he is a far more instinctive safety, which allows him to make quicker reactions and be more impactful on the football. He shows good anticipation and the ability to mirror in coverage on deeper routes from a deeper alignment.

Perry also needs work with his foot technique. As his technique improves and he starts to play lower and with a better base, his transition speed will improve a bit.

RUN GAME

STRENGTHS:

Run stopping is the best part of his game at
this point

Physical and aggressive style of play - Likes contact and likes to deliver big hits

Shows good instincts and anticipation in the
run game - He does not get caught being
overly aggressive against play-action

Has good natural power, which allows him to
get force at the point of contact at the prep
level - Shows the natural frame and strength to
eventually carry this over to the college game

Very rangy in the run game thanks to his speed and length - Covers a lot of ground and shows good closing speed

Takes good angles to the football and does not get caught out of position


AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT:

Tends to play too high at the point of contact

Has to learn to sink and drive his hips through contact

Stops his feet at the point of contact, which
must be corrected

Will need work on using his hands to take on
and beat blockers at the next level


It is in the run game that Perry truly thrives. His physical style of play and willingness to deliver punishing blows makes him a force at the prep level. Perry's ability to accelerate and chew up ground makes him incredibly rangy in the run game. His ability to come down in the box and handle the run game, combined with his ability to play from depth against the run, makes him a legitimate run-stopping force on the back end of the defense.

Perry shows good instincts the in run game. He is not too aggressive that he puts himself in bad positions. He shows good instincts and patience in the run game, but once his key tells him to get going downhill he does so with aggressiveness and impressive speed. When working in the box he stays light on his feet and shows the ability to scrape like a linebacker.

His instincts in the run game and ability to quickly plant and accelerate to the football combines with his great frame to make some think that linebacker might be his best position. Perry certainly has the disposition and frame to make that move, but he also has the athleticism and potential to stay at safety and be just as effective against the run.

Perry takes good angles to the football and closes very well on ball carriers. Once he arrives at the football he delivers punishment. Moving forward, Perry has areas where he must improve, and if he does so his ability to be a lights out hitter will dramatically increase.

Right now, Perry tends to make two mistakes at the point of contact. The first is his tendency to play high. He shows good pad level when running, but when he gets to the ball carrier he stays high and does not sink and drive through contact. This is something that can be corrected with work, and if he makes that change his ability to drive ball carriers backwards will be enhanced.

Perry also has a tendency to stop his feet at the moment of impact, which ties into the first problem. When you play high you can't dip, rip and drive. This takes away some of his power and keeps him from getting the push he will need against bigger college players. The skills are there, he just has to work on playing lower and driving his hips through contact, which will then allow him to drive his feet through contact.

I like how Perry wraps up and stays locked onto ball carriers. I also love the force he brings when he makes contact. Once the technical areas discussed in the previous paragraphs are corrected his ability to dominate in the run game will greatly increase.

As a prep player he is often too quick and too fast for offensive players to get on him, so using his hands to take on and beat blocks is not something he needs to do much at the prep level. Moving forward, that will be an area to watch. The strength is there, he will just need to develop the timing and technique.

PROSPECT SUMMARY

Notre Dame likes versatile players and Perry is certainly that. He played a little offense at Auburn (Ala.) High School as a junior but he lacks the ball skills or demeanor to play on that side of the ball. His versatility comes from his flexibility on the defensive side of the ball.

Perry has the athleticism, range and combination of skills to play as a deep safety. His ability to play in deep coverage, his ability to play off-man coverage and his range in the run game make him ideally suited for the strong safety position in the Irish defense.

Many of those same traits make him a good fit for the nickel safety position. Perry's size would make him a force in the run game against slot receivers, who will have a hard time blocking him and keeping him from getting to the football. This would also make him highly effective against perimeter screens from the slot.

Perry's frame and size potential could allow him to easily get up to 220-225 pounds and move down to the Sam linebacker position, which has a great deal of carry-over with the nickel position. Perry's range, instincts and toughness also give him the potential to develop into a Will linebacker. That is a position for players who combine toughness, the ability to play in the box and top-notch instincts in the run game, which I believe Perry has.

With Perry on board, Notre Dame can continue recruiting the best players possible. If the staff loads up on safety it will not impact Perry's ability to get onto the field. If it loads up at linebacker the staff can easily keep him on the backend.

SKILL SET EXPLANATIONS
Most of the categories are self-explanatory (speed, size/frame) while others are not as obvious. The reason is while there is carryover in terms of category titles what each means is specific to the position being discussed. For example, athleticism is self-explanatory from a broad level, but for each position the traits will be different. For a running back, it will cover things like foot quickness, suddenness, hips, balance, etc. For a defensive end, it will include things like initial burst, lateral quickness, body control, etc. The specifics will be discussed under the various headers in the heart of the film evaluation itself.

Have seen this kid play a couple of times in the past. If I were putting a label on his game right now, I see him somewhere in the middle of Ha Ha Clinton Dix and Landon Collins - just a bit taller but every bit as physical. I apologize in advance for the Bama references but that's who I know as players. Not saying Perry is quite there on their level yet but his game is somewhat comparable. Congrats on the commit Irish nation.

I am getting a feeling; I started on this yesterday.

Thanks for the get, and pointing it out, Reps, Sir!

There is something in the air. (Could be a song.)

But I think it has to do with ND's '16 recruiting class, particularly the last few members.

And if you told me it was influenced by the work of our new staff recruiting, I would not disagree.

But these last few guys, their clarity of thought, their skill sets as bulls-eye needs for their class, their single-mindedness, in both their own lives with their goals, and their commitments is stunning, (at least to me.) They know what they want, and who they need to work on recruiting. From Brock Wright ('17 I know), to Elliott, to Stepherson, to the big uglies, (which I am convinced will include Parker Boudreaux after this week), we are seeing kids that are physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually much further ahead of the best of the four and five star recruits of their respective classes.

Just to frame my point, in past classes we have had recruits like this Zaire, Smith, Robinson, Jones, Martin (X2), and Tillery all fit this mold. But the '16 class really seems to have this player as the core, not the exception. I can't help but be marvelously pleased at this? Any one else see this trend?

"Coach Lyght is just passionate," Perry explained.

"He's kind of where I want to go in life. He has played in the NFL. He has been an All-American at the college level. He has a great idea of how to create a DB, and he just knows what Notre Dame is about." - See more at: https://notredame.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1779152#sthash.HCkzNyLt.dpuf
