It’s not like Travis Hunter brought two-way stardom to college football, but he did it at the highest level possible and no doubt inspired others to work toward that kind of impact. Perich, as reported by The Athletic’s Scott Dochterman, is college football’s best hope in 2025 for that kind of player. He stood out as a freshman safety and returner, and now P.J. Fleck declares it “isn’t a gimmick” that Perich is going to make a difference for Minnesota’s offense. If it’s more than the occasional wildcat snap or trick play, he will be that program’s most talked-about player since Laurence Maroney 20 years ago.
