Stanford’s interior defensive line received a much-needed shot in the arm with the addition of Pope John XXIII (New Jersey) High School defensive tackle Dalyn Wade-Perry on Wednesday.
The four-star run stopper chose the Stanford Cardinal over Florida State and UCLA after Stanford’s Big Visit weekend on Jan. 13-14. ‘D-Wade’ also held offers from Alabama, Florida, Maryland, Nebraska, Ohio State, Penn State, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin among others.
With Wade-Perry’s blend of size (DWP is built like a tank with a 6-foot-3, 341-pound frame) and strength (moves offensive linemen and blocking backs with ease), he will fit right in with the #IntellectualBrutality philosophy which percolates the entire Stanford roster.
