Thomas Perry (born May 28, 2003) is an American college football offensive tackle for the Middlebury Panthers. [4]
Perry played in 34 games for the Panthers between 2021-2024, including 30 consecutive starts to finish his college career. [5]
Perry was named to the All-New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) First Team 3 consecutive years from 2022-2024, [2] and he also was the first Middlebury Panther to be invited to the East–West Shrine Bowl. [1] [6] In addition to this, he was named to the first ever Walter Camp All-American Team for Division III at the end of his senior year. [3] [7]
According to Brian Napier of FloFootball, Perry participated in UConn’s Pro Day on March 25, "where he put up numbers that would’ve been solid at the NFL Scouting Combine; a 29.5-inch vertical jump, 4.53 shuttle drill and 31 reps on the bench press were among his most notable marks, along with a 9-3 broad jump that would’ve put him tied for sixth among all offensive linemen at the combine." [8]
Perry has the potential to be the first Division III football player drafted since 2020. [9] Bleacher Reporter also ranked Perry 24th among interior linemen in the draft and a potential 5th round pick. [10] Dane Brugler from The Athletic ranks Perry as the 11th prospect among the 70 centers in the draft. [11] ESPN included Perry on a list of seven draft risers to watch. [12]
The Baltimore Ravens signed Middlebury IOL Thomas Perry as a UDFA after the 2025 NFL Draft. [13]
