From two-star to superstar

Considering what Perriman has achieved throughout his career in football, it’s hard to imagine that he was once extremely overlooked coming out of high school.

Perriman was rated a two-star recruit by Rivals.com and 247Sports in the Class of 2011. Perriman did not even earn a positional or state ranking by 247Sports.

Georgia is annually loaded with talent, but it’s hard to understand how a player of Perriman’s caliber got lost in the shuffle. Chalk the 6-foot-2 wideout up as one of the more recent misses by recruiting websites and the college coaches who passed on him to go on and make it big at the next level.
