Perry, a studio art major, went to Gulliver Preparatory K-12 school located in Pinecrest, Fla. before signing to UVA as a three-star recruit. While in high school, he played as a linebacker, tight end and defensive lineman and was awarded South Florida Conference’s 2018 Defensive Player of the Year.
As of Nov. 14, Perry’s parents have declined to speak publicly about the passing of their son. Michael Haggard, managing partner of the Haggard Law Firm spoke on behalf of the family to Local 10 News.
“D’Sean’s parents, Happy and Sean Perry, and their entire family…thank the South Florida and Charlottesville communities for the outpouring of support during this impossibly tragic time,” Haggard said.
