Former Ohio State Linebacker Joshua Perry Gives Back to Community with Second Annual Youth Football Camp

DELAWARE, Ohio – After playing football at Ohio State and spending a couple years in the NFL, Joshua Perry believes it is his duty to give back to his community.

That’s why the former Ohio State linebacker hosted his second annual free youth football camp, through the Joshua Perry Family Foundation, for about 230 children ages 7-13 at Olentangy Berlin High School on Friday morning.

“Guys retire, they start a charity, and that’s what they do. So I felt like I needed to do it, but for me, it was important to be able to have a free camp,” said Perry, who retired from the NFL in 2018 and is now a real estate agent and broadcaster.
