Denzel Perryman, linebacker out of Coral Gables Senior High committed to the Canes<\/a> over the weekend. Perryman has all the measurables to make an impact at the next level, and he has been playing Varsity ball since his freshman year for the Cavaliers.<\/p>\n

HSN got a chance to catch up with Perryman over the weekend to get his thoughts on becoming the newest member of the hurricane family.<\/p>\n

HSN<\/strong>: Conratulations on your commitment Denzel. How does it feel to be a cane?<\/p>\n

Denzel Perryman<\/strong>: Thanks, Its something that I’ve always dreamed about. The time finally came and I made my decision to be at the University of Miami<\/a>.<\/p>\n

HSN<\/strong>: What took you so long to make your commitment to the Hurricanes<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Denzel Perryman<\/strong>: Well, when Randy Shannon was let go I started getting nervous. I didn’t know who the new head coach would be and I started looking around at other schools. Once I got to know the new staff, and I knew that coach Golden was going to keep Michael Barrow on board I knew everything was right again.<\/p>\n

HSN<\/strong>: Were there any other schools you were considering? If so what was the difference between those schools and Miami<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Denzel Perryman<\/strong>: The only other school I was looking at was the University of Florida. Honestly it was a very hard decision. The University of Florida has a lot of tradition and there coaches were great, but the one thing that stood out about Miami was the family atmosphere.<\/p>\n

HSN<\/strong>: Talk about your relationship with Miami’s assistant coach Michael Barrow. How long have you known him?<\/p>\n

Denzel Perryman<\/strong>: I’ve known coach Barrow since my freshmen year. He calls me all the time and we just have a great relationship.<\/p>\n

HSN<\/strong>: Do you see yourself more as an inside \"\"<\/a>
\nlinebacker or an outside linebacker?<\/p>\n

Denzel Perryman<\/strong>: Miami recruited me as an inside linebacker so thats where I plan to play when I get there.<\/p>\n

HSN<\/strong>: We’ve heard you have a good relationship with Jonathan Vilma the former cane and now NFL pro bowl linebacker. What can you say about him? Did he try to push you towards Miami?<\/p>\n

Denzel Perryman<\/strong>: Jonathan Vilma is great. He and I talk everyday. He didn’t really push me to do anything. He just told me to take my time and to do what was best for me.<\/p>\n

HSN<\/strong>:You’ve been playing Varsity for quite a while at Coral Gables. Who have been some of the best players you’ve went up against?<\/p>\n

Denzel Perryman<\/strong>: I’ve played versus a lot of good players. My freshman year I went up against Jacory Harris and that whole Miami Northwestern National Championship team.<\/p>\n

HSN<\/strong>: What are your true measurements right now height\/weight and what is your 40 time bench and squat numbers?<\/p>\n

Denzel Perryman<\/strong>: I’m between 5’11 and 6’0 I weigh 215 pounds. My bench max is 315 my squat is 505 and my 40 time is somewhere between 4.5 and 4.6.<\/p>\n

HSN<\/strong>: Current Miami commit Thomas Finnie has enrolled early and he said he wants to wear #2 your old high school number. If that’s the case what number would you like to wear?<\/p>\n

Denzel Perryman<\/strong>: Awww, I really wanted to wear #2, but if I can’t I’d like to wear # 52 or # 51 like Jonathan Vilma wore.<\/p>\n

HSN<\/strong>: Talk about Coach Golden<\/a> what are your impressions of him?<\/p>\n

Denzel Perryman<\/strong>: I think coach Golden is a great guy. he is down to earth. I think he is going to turn the program around and I want to be a part of that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
