Can-Do Perdue : Multisport Maverick Earns All-American Honors for Brown

Congratulations to John Perdue ’22 for being named Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American for the Brown University Football program. Perdue, a senior captain, led the team with 88 tackles on the season. He was also named Second-Team All-Ivy and Academic All-District. Perdue is a finalist for the CSC Academic All-America award, to be announced on January 27.

While at St. John’s, Perdue competed in multiple sports. In Swimming, he broke the school record in the 50 free. He is the only 2X All-American in the St. John’s Wrestling program. In football, he was a three-year starter who led the team in rushing & scoring (2020) and tackles (2019). He also competed for the Maverick Lacrosse and Track & Field teams. 

Perdue is hanging up his cleats for good and does not plan to compete on any other team at Brown.

"This is the end of the road in competitive sports for me," said Perdue. "That said, I loved the brotherhood we built at Brown Football, and I will definitely miss playing alongside those guys."
