He is let's call him offensive Weapon, Malcolm Perry. Malcolm, 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.520 thanks for jumping in, man, thanks for having me. I 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.920 appreciate it. Well, it's good to hear from you again. Man. 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.160 We haven't spoken since the day you were drafted in 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.080 the interview there, So what have you been up to 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.280 in the meantime? You're working out, staying in shape, and 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.120 staying busy and staying active. Oh yeah, definitely. Um, that's 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.880 pretty much all I'm doing now is working out, UM, 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.720 staying in the playbook, and um doing a little fishing 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.960 here in there. Fishing, that's that's a big theme with 0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:59.400 a lot of your teammates. I don't know if you've 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:00.560 if you had a Chane has to catch up with 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.320 those guys on zoom calls and stuff. But have you 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.280 guys discussed any possible fishing meetups when we're allowed to 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.560 do that stuff again? Yeah, for sure. There's been a 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.400 lot of talk about feasting, uh coming up here. When 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.120 we're when we're able to, so looking forward to it. Yeah, 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.040 it seems like that was maybe part of of of 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.360 Chris Career and Brian flores a scouting notes was they 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.440 gotta be FISHERMANX. I swear every single one of you 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.880 guys mentioned your fishing. So we'll get more into stuff 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.400 like that. The idea of this podcast, Malcolm is is 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.320 to get to know Malcolm Perry the person a little 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:30.959 bit better. So I want to just start in the 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.040 very beginning, if we can. You grew up in Clarksville, Tennessee. 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.480 What was life like in Clarksville? Is a youth for you? 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.400 It was good? Um, a lot of sports that sports 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.040 is are big thing here in college Withoo Tennessee. Um. 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.280 I grew with military parents, so um. I lived right 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.799 outside of military base work camp, Kentucky. So um, A 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.840 lot of military aspects to my lifestyle growing up as 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.120 a kid. Um, even to this day, you see military 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.280 aircraft flying over my house doing whatever doing they're doing 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.079 and stuff like that. So a lot of military influence 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.959 and outdoors and sports was a big part of much older. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.880 So I'm curious because my forgive my ignorance here, but 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.640 I always assumed that, you know, military kids hopped around 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.840 a lot of army brats, right, Did that never happen 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.520 for you? No, I never have. From me. So, I'm 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.480 the youngest of six kids, so my older siblings moved 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.400 around a lot. So I was born at the end 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.079 of my parents career. So, um, I was lucky enough 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.240 to stay in one place in my whole life. Okay, 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:29.960 that's that's good though, And I think that's a good 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.519 segue into our next question because your parents were both 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.520 you know, Army cadets, and you obviously with the Navy, 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.120 and where I'm from, Malcolm, we are basically the middle 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.440 of Washington State is split between Cougars and Huskies Washington 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.920 and Washington State, and I have to imagine that's somewhat 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.400 amplified with the service academies, even though there's probably much 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.440 more of a mutual respect there. I don't think we 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.240 have that out here for Huskies and Cougars is probably 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.440 more respectful for you guys. What was it like when 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.480 you told your parents you wanted to play at Navy 0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:59.880 and go to Navy And was there some friendly trashed 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.520 walk there? Uh? No, there was no friendly trash talk. 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.320 A little bit on my dad's side. Um, I have 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.600 to watch watch him a little bit close to my mom. 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.440 But uh, they were all supportive of me going to 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.000 the Naval Academy. Um, they were a big part of 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.320 the process and helping me choose that. But h I say, 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.559 the biggest thing is the people that I grew up around, 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.360 they're they're so tied into rooting for Army that I 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.839 don't I don't really have a lot of I don't 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.560 really talk to a lot of people going in the 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.760 Army week um at the Naval Academy from back home 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.040 because they're they're Army fans. So I'm good in my 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.600 house with no my hometown during the week. Yes, the 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.320 one week you guys kind of have to black all right, 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.520 we're not friends this week exactly. I love it so, 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.680 but now that you're not playing ball there anymore, do 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.640 you think maybe that that rivalry kind of heightens back 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.240 up because like, you know, you have you have your 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.640 it's your alma mater. Now it's their alma mater. Is 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:52.200 it gonna be like all right, now it's time to 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:57.279 kind of house divided this thing. Um, it's still all 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.880 it's still all Navy with me, So Um, I think 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.240 I'm gonna be able to enjoy the robbery a little 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.240 bit more now that I'm not you know, Dowt in 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.720 focus trying to get ready for the game, so be 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:07.960 able to enjoy it a little bit more. I have 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.240 a living from more fun with it, um, and uh 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.720 enjoy it and see the boys win. So it'll be 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.760 fun definitely. And you mentioned that you played multiple sports 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.080 or grew up playing sports in Clarksville. What were your 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.640 other best sports? Basketball and baseball. I played a lot 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.160 of basketball growing up when I was little. Um basketball, 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.400 I never really got into baseball. It's pretty much just 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.560 basketball and football. But I made the transition to football 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.120 pretty young and I kind of left basketball behind. But 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:36.680 I was always down to play whatever my friends were 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.239 playing outside. So I was curious to ask you because, 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.600 you know, for most athletes, and I was once an 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.760 athlete and back in my my day, so to speak. 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.640 And we always have this moment right where you realize 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.480 the dream is over. And I'll just tell you a 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.160 quick story that's kind of funny in my opinion. For 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.680 my personal account, I played football from six to eighth 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.840 grade and I enjoyed playing, but there was a moment 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.279 early on my first practice where I knew that maybe 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.560 this sport it wasn't gonna be for me. We had 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.479 this drill where they put out four cones like into 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:08.040 a square and you would shuffle, shuffle, shuffle karaoke, come 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.160 back around the other cone, and when you came back 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.160 around the other cone, the other kid would run and 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.400 smack you in the middle of that little corner. And 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.160 the first time I got hit, Malcolm, I was like, 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.640 all right, I'm I'm a basketball player. I'm a baseball player. 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.160 So the reason I asked you this, what was there 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.520 a moment in your football career or growing up as 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.240 a kid where you knew, yeah, I've got some special 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.320 ability here to be a really good player in high 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:32.800 school and maybe into college and even into the pros. Um. 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.520 I can't pinpoint a specific moment, but uh, I just 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.000 remember being able to, you know, not get tackled a 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.320 live play with my friends. I think, um, that was 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.680 kind of what build build my confidence up going into 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.360 the higher levels of football as a youth. So, um 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.760 is being able to avoid getting tackled was was what 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.520 I was good as a kid. You were probably everyone's 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.960 least favorite person on the field with that game. What's 0:06:57.960 --> 0:06:59.880 it called tackle the guy with the ball? Whatever you 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.760 call that game? Right? You played that, didn't you? Yeah? 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.120 For sure? Did you ever get tackled? Uh? Yeah? Here 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.640 and there? Yeah, that's good stuff. We've got Malcolm Perry 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.920 here on the Drivetime podcast. Malcolm, I want to borrow 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.520 a question from one of my favorite podcasts, to Move 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.960 the Sticks podcast, Daniel Jeremiah Bucky Brooks of NFL Media. 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.720 They always like to ask young men like yourself about 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.520 your greatest hardship and who is your biggest hero. Let's 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.400 go ahead and start with your hero. Who is Malcolm 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:30.440 Pero Malcolm Perry's hero? I'd have to say my father, UM. 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.840 Just growing up as a kid looking up to him, 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.720 how hard he worked, the sacrifices he made, and the 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.360 way he went about um facing challenges head on. Stuff 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.800 like that. So I think that's what I'm model mind 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.000 leadership after UM and the way I want to leave 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:48.920 my family in the future. So I definitely have to 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.160 say my father. Are they gonna come watch you as 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:52.720 a pro? Is there going to be a big Malcolm 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.800 Perry contingency at Dolphins games? Now? Yeah? For sure, as 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.120 many as many as you can make. Yeah, hopefully we 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.040 can get plenty of them out there this year and 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.840 twenty and beyond. So how about the question for the hardship, 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:05.640 What was a big moment in your life that kind 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:09.760 of some adversity you had to overcome. I definitely say 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.760 the loss of my sister. I lost my sister. I 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.960 want to say I was around eleven years old. Um. 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.360 You know, we're a pretty big family of family of 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.280 six kids, and she was the oldest. Sol Um. Losing 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.200 her was kind of a big shock to my family. 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.880 It was kind of weird, seeing how it was my 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.720 first experience with death, so um, seeing how the family reacted, 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.280 my mother especially, Um, it was definitely a tough time 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.079 for myself and my family for sure. What would you 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.439 say that it taught you in terms of what you 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.280 were as a person or as a character, Because I 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:42.839 think that a lot of times we can take things 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.960 like that, Malcolm, we can go one of two directions. 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.600 It looks like you took the positive direction. Was there 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.840 something that you overall just took away from the experience 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.839 or learn from it? I think, just like anybody else 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.599 who loses, anybody's us valuing the time that you have 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.520 with your family members while they're there and appreciating them 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.560 and all the time you with him for sure. Absolutely well, 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.640 I'm sorry to hear about your lost Malcolm. It's that's terrible. 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:05.560 It's uh glad. I'm glad that you guys were able 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.880 to overcome that and move on and and live your 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:09.839 lives for you know, for her. That's that's awesome to 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.000 hear about. I want to make a tough transition here 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:13.880 and get back into the football side of things, because 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:15.640 you and I spoke a little bit off air, and 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.599 you're wearing the Men of Ken shirt right now, and 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.840 and what did you guys call coach Nia Mantalolo? Did 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.599 I get that right? That's right, you got it. What 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.360 did you guys call him on campus? Because I we talked, 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.600 I joked about it off air. It took me about 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:30.800 two hundred tries to get it right. What did you 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.440 guys call him? On the football field? We call him 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.960 coach Ni and my just coach Um. He's he does 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:38.679 a good job in knowing that his name is pretty 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.120 hard to pronounce, so he doesn't really task people were 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.920 saying the whole thing. He goes by coach Ni, and 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.599 so he makes it easy on the guys. Yeah, I 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.280 had a chance to meet him. We're gonna hear frohim 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.199 on this podcast here in just a second. He was 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.160 I was inspired by him, Malcolm. He was. He was 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:53.880 an awesome guy to talk to. What is what are 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.320 some of the things that you took away from Coach 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:59.760 Ni and my um? Just being consistent, I think UM 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.960 and having a genuine care for the people that he leaves. 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.000 I think he's probably the best that I've ever seen 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.319 doing in caring for the people that he that he leads, 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:13.199 and coaching guys and actually having true emotions and he 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.120 pours his heart into the game and it was on 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.840 the field for sure. So he told me a story, Malcolm, 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.040 about one time he was off campus during your guys 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.120 off hours and which you guys don't get a lot 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.160 of there at the Naval Academy because it's so orchestrated 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.920 and so structured and and so business like. And he 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.280 came back to campus expecting to see a ghost town, 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:33.880 and it was for the most part, but then he 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:35.720 saw you and a couple of your receivers out there 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.080 running routes and he said that was when he realized 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.840 he had a special player on his hands. What I mean, 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:42.319 did you ever have a chance to get some fun 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.360 in college or was it always business all the time? 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.839 We have fun for sure, I mean especially during the 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:53.200 off season. Um. But during the season, um, there wasn't 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.599 time to get out and relax and stuff like that. 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.120 But during the offseason they do a good job at 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.520 allowing us to get off and uh, I start feet 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.400 a little bit. So you think that really prepared you 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.079 for the next level, because I mean a full time 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.280 job now that you're a professional, it's gonna be you know, 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.280 I'm sure like that amplified. Do you think that really 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.199 prepared you for the next level? I sure hope. So 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.480 I think you know the name of academy in itself, 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:15.840 you can do a lot of tools with time management 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:17.559 and stuff like that to be able to, you know, 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.360 dill it in and take care of what you gotta 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.520 take care of before you have fun. So I hope 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.280 I will be carries over and I definitely do my 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.920 best to make that happen. Can you tell us what 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.080 a typical day is like for a student there Navy, 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.000 for a student athlete who has to go to practice 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.280 and prepare and and lift weights and watch film. What 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.400 was the typical day like for you there? Uh so 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.920 I was probably I'm waking up at six or six thirty, 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:45.360 depending on the day. UM, get out of bed, make 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.760 your bed, make sure your room straight, um, and I'll 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:53.080 organized up to standard. Then you have morning quarters formation, 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:57.600 so everybody goes out UM in front of their doors. UM, 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:02.520 get information, accountability is taken, everybody makes sure everybody's there. UM, 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.720 make sure your uniforms are straight. Go down to breakfast 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:12.040 UM around seven seven fifteen. UM, go to class from 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:17.360 seven five to around eleven, and you have lunch meetings. 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:22.240 After lunch, do you have about thirty forty minutes of lunch. 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:26.760 Go to meetings about twelve twelve fifteen. Then you're back 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.679 to class from one to three I believe. UM. Then 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:35.079 after class to the tape room, UM, to the get 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:39.240 ready for practice. Then you practice from i'd say four 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:45.760 to six UM. After practice treatment UM, treatment to about seven. 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:50.360 Then you're eating eating dinner. UM. You probably get done 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:55.000 with your day around eight, and then you're studying, are 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.280 doing whatever homework you have from about eight to ten. 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.040 And then add a eleven o'clock is tapped. So every 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:03.439 night we have a piece of paper that we have 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:07.640 to sign saying that we're on deck, we're in our rooms, um, 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.800 and we're accounting for and then that process repeats itself 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.120 throughout the whole week. When you got out of that structure, 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.480 like for whatever, whether it was a break or now 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.000 that you're you know, in your post college playing career, 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.760 was it did you find yourself having like idle hands? 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.719 Were you like looking for something to do because it's 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.480 so regimented and so you know, every single minute you're 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:30.120 doing something. Yeah, it's pretty weird to not have somebody 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.520 you know, I always worried about where you are, what 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.640 you're doing, and stuff like that. So, um, it's nice 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.520 for sure, but it doesn't make you make you always 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.400 think that you have something to do. Absolutely, it's it's uh, 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.199 you know, idle hands in the Douvil's playground. So it's 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.439 it's always for me, especially this time of you know, 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.240 in this time of our society right now, it's good 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.160 to stay busy. So that's that's a good schedule for 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.000 you there at the academy. Before that, in high school, 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:55.800 coming in, I mean, you had to have had at 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.719 least some expectations of what the expectation was of you, 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:00.520 but when you got there was a kind of like 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.640 a shell shock or a culture shock of how much, 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.160 how much, how demanding it was. Yeah, for sure. So 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:10.760 coming from my background with military kind of being there, um, 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.840 I kind of expected for it to be a little 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.839 easier than most guys. But UM, I don't think anything 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.559 could prepare you for the culture shock that you get. Um. 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.800 So I spent a year up in Rhode Island at 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.960 the prep school for years, so um that's where I 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.960 experienced most of the shell shock and the culture shock 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.360 and the the homesickness and stuff like that. And UM, 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.120 I think you get over a pretty quick and you 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:34.480 you develop a bond with the guys that dropped there 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:38.600 with us tighter than than anything I've ever experienced. So um, 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.480 I've met some of my best friends there, and yeah, 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:43.760 that's a good point. You're got to go through it 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.000 with someone else who kind of understands the struggle too, 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.120 So that's definitely something to to rally around and bond around. 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.200 And I want to ask you this question, Malcolm, because 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.200 each of the three coaches we spoke to Coach Nia Matalolo, 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.000 coach Ingram and coach Jasper all mentioned your first ever 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.480 varsity game, and I'm sure it didn't go as you 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.440 had and as far as how you got onto the 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.080 football field. But that's sports in general, right, it always 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.080 goes not according to plan. But your coaches all told 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.200 me about it. They all referenced this kind of chaotic 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.320 moment where they really were caught up in the buzz 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.040 of the game when you were pulled out of the 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.200 stands and onto the field because you were ill that 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.240 week or had a stomach bug or something that kept 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.560 you from being, you know, part of the active game 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.160 day game plan to being an inactive quarterback up in 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.200 the stands. But then they had a couple of injuries 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.000 and all of a sudden, you're in the lineup. I 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:33.320 want to hear about that experience from your perspective. Ah. Yeah. 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:38.040 So heading into week one my freshman year, um I 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.160 was kind of on the edge of being the three 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.600 and the four. We had two seniors who we're gonna 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.400 be our one and two starting quarterbacks, so um I 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:47.960 was kind of on the edge of being three in 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.400 the four and then going into the last week, head 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.720 into the game of practice, I got extremely sick. So 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.840 um I had to sit out a day or two. UM, 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.280 and kind of mispractice those two days and kind of 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:06.080 made myself before pretty much. And uh, I think that Friday, 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:09.000 I played in the JV game at our stadium. Um, 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.400 so that was my first experience of maybe football was 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.640 playing in the j V game that Friday. And then 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:18.720 the next day, um, that's Saturday. Um I was able 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:20.720 to go to the tailgate UM with the rest of 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.880 the guys who weren't playing that week and enjoy the 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.200 pregame festivities. And then the team came in the stadium, 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.560 watching warm up and everything, and the game just going on. 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:34.160 Sitting down were some of my friends. I think I 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.560 was eating Twizzlers and uh just enjoying the game. And 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:41.080 uh I saw our starting quarterback went down and they 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:46.320 seemed pretty serious. So, um I knew that. Uh so 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:48.400 I think, yeah, it was will Worth. He went in. 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:50.600 He ended up being our starting quarterback for the rest 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:55.400 of the season. But um, they we were up, you know, 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.040 a considerable amount. You know, we had pretty much won 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.920 the game. So um, they ran up in the stands. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.200 One of the manager ran up in the stands. He's 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.040 screaming my name and he's yelling for me, and I'm 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.200 I'm I hear him, so I'm kind of scared, like 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.040 what did I do? Um? And he tells me to 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.320 come with him. So I walk down the stands, um 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.320 through all the fans, get on the field, walk in 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.200 the walk in the locker room and I'm in my 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.320 I'm in a full uniform right now. Um. I get 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:22.800 to locker room, I still don't know what's going on, 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:24.320 and he tells me that they're going to get my 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.760 stuff and I'll be playing for this. I'll be dressing 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.000 out for the second half. So at that point I 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:31.880 didn't know. I didn't expect to get in the game, 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.960 but um, a couple of plays later into the second half, 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:37.920 they threw me in there and I got to play 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.639 a little bit. So it was fun. So now, do 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:42.760 you have to have Twizzlers for every game? Is that 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.280 part of the ritual? Now? No? Not at the twizzlers 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.160 are gone and that would like shut my body down 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.240 to right, I probably couldn't even move, So good on 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:55.120 you for for having production with Twizzlers in your digestive system. There. 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.960 So one more question for you about the about Navy 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:00.200 they I just saw the other day that they're moving 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.440 the Notre Dame Navy game to Annapolis this year. That's 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:06.400 the first time ever. Right, Yeah, that's a pretty big deal. Yah, 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.280 that's huge that I think that that will probably be 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.720 um if if coronavirus was gone, that would definitely be 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.080 the biggest game at Navy Marine Corpimora Stadium ever, for sure. 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.639 I think that would be the craziest environment um that 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.520 stadium has ever seen. But um, that would be interesting 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:25.840 to see, for sure. That's awesome to see. I love 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:27.960 watching the Navy Army game every year, which we know 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.520 by now you definitely made your mark on that game 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:32.960 last time around with some records in that game. A 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:34.800 couple of questions before I get you out of here, Malcolm, 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.480 I want to know about more leisure activities, not eating 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.120 twizzlers in the stands. What do you do whether it's 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.239 inside with like watching Netflix, playing video games? What's your 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:45.959 leisure activity when you're inside and when you're outdoors out 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:50.560 with your friends doing stuff when I'm inside, I'm I'm 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.560 not how much of a Netflix watch. I just recently 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:57.720 started watching Outer Banks. Um, you know, I don't. I 0:18:57.800 --> 0:18:59.760 haven't really had a lot of time to get into Netflix. 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:02.120 But I'm also not a video game player. I usually 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:05.120 watch YouTube videos, which everybody thinks he's kind of weird, 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:09.800 but um, I'm probably watching the YouTube video about something random, um, 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.280 learning how to fix something, or fishing or something like that. 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:17.840 Um that's my inside activity if I'm not nappy. Um, 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.080 outside is definitely fishing. Yeah, that was kind of a layup, 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:22.800 but hey, at least in South Florida, you'll have really 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.439 good fishing down here out in open water. Anyway, Malcolm, 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.320 I appreciate your time today, man, it was It was 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:28.520 good to get to know you a little bit here 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:30.399 and we'll hopefully we see it here very soon for 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.760 training camping and get to work on the football field. 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.960 Appreciate your time, Yes, sir, thank you. So there he 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:38.600 goes Malcolm Perry, Dolphins seventh round draft pick. Let's go 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.159 ahead now and spend things forward to my interview with 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:45.560 Navy head coach Ken Nia mat Lolo. Alright, coach coach, 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:47.520 welcome into the podcast here, and first I want to 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.879 go ahead and just congratulate you on the eleven wins 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.760 season and a bull victory and of course beating Army 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.040 and in that Army game, the Dolphins seventh round draft pick. 0:19:56.119 --> 0:20:02.640 He had quite a day, didn't He played phenomenal Malcolm. 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:07.359 I mean he basically offensively, you know, put our team 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:10.720 on his back, and he heared as the victory. I mean, 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:14.359 he rushed for three hundred yards, you know, a record 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.080 in that game. And they've been playing that game for 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.639 over a century, you know, and there's been some pretty 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:24.440 good football players playing that game. But he he was spectacular. 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:27.560 And we talked to coach Ingram earlier today and he 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:30.480 was talking about how you guys had these landmarks that 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:33.600 you were getting closer to, like the Army Navy rushing record, 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.680 the games, the game's record, and then once he broke 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:38.399 that he had such a big run that he was 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:40.960 getting close to three hundred yards. So you just kept 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.040 going back to the well and that guy just kind 0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:46.680 of seems to always exceed expectations, right Yeah. And you 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:50.320 know it wasn't so later on that we heard you know, 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:54.800 some of the records is actually the last drive and um, 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:57.200 you know, the game was in hand and we're actually 0:20:57.240 --> 0:20:59.480 trying to run out the clouds too, so everything played 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:03.320 into came into playing just um, you know, I'm not 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:05.560 trying of whether any seemed to arm or anything like that, 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.280 but just turning to run up the clock, get the 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:11.879 ball to baseball carryer. And you know, I would have 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.320 been fine if you'd got one, one or two yards 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.639 and ate up the whole clock and you know, and 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:20.359 and use all the time. But he kept having these 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:23.160 long runs and he ran for a touchdown like okay, 0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:25.639 you know, we weren't going to take a knee, but 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:29.880 he just kept running and around. He like, okay, keep yeah, 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:31.760 just you're just gonna keep producing. That's what he does. 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:33.720 That's what he did. I think I wrote a stat 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.000 it was like sixty five runs of ten yards or 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:38.879 more or last season, obviously en route to two thousand 0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:40.919 rushing yards. And I wanted to go back to an 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.680 article I found Coach that was I want to say, 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:45.800 it was you talking to him after the Army Navy 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:48.120 game the previous year, when maybe there was a little 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:50.280 bit of a lack of conviction to go to him 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:53.000 as the full time quarterback, and you approached him and said, 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:54.879 you know, that was a mistake that I made and 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:56.879 next year, we're not going to do that. And he 0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:58.920 was really receptive to it. Can you tell us about 0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:03.000 how that conversation, like I went down, well, I think 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:07.000 you know, nobody was happy with the the year that 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:10.080 we had two years ago. Uh, you know, we're not 0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:13.359 used to that. And you know, before I could look 0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:17.760 at any other moves with our staff or personnel or 0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:20.280 strategy or scheme or whatever the case, maybe I had 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:22.919 to look at myself. And as I looked at myself, 0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:26.879 I recognized that I made a huge mistake and not 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.159 give him Malcolm the keys. You know, we kind of 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:33.760 went back and forward and moved to the quarterbacks. It 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:36.560 wasn't a knock on In and other quarterbacks, but you know, 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:40.240 I started to think, Um, if you're the quarterback and 0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:43.800 and you're getting pulled or you're getting moved, there's a 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:46.200 thought that hey, I might have to move back to 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.760 slot back. It's hard to be the leader and the 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:51.520 quarterback has to be the leader. And so he just 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:55.400 told him, Hey, we made a mistake. A big part 0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:58.000 of why we were not successful last year because we 0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:00.840 didn't you know, we didn't put all of them are 0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:03.520 marvels in and all of our eggs in one basket. 0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:07.000 And Tom, we're gonna write you welcome your quarterback. Get Ready, 0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:11.600 we're gonna put our scheme uh together. They will fit 0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:15.200 all of your skill set. But you're we're gonna write 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:18.200 you you know, good or bad, whatever happens. And he 0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:20.879 just wants you to know that. And he took the 0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:23.600 ball from there and ran and we had him on 0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:27.199 the Drivetime podcast, our official Miami Dolphins podcast here right 0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:29.439 after he was drafted and coach, you know this as 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:32.159 well as anybody, very soft spoken young man. We couldn't 0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:33.680 get much out of him. That's why we wanted to 0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:35.880 get a couple of coaches onto to kind of brag 0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:38.640 about our new quarterback, running back receiver kind of does 0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:40.920 everything for you guys there. I'm curious to get your 0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:44.520 take on the way his leadership acumen was because he 0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:47.439 everyone lauds him for it, but being a quiet guy 0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:49.920 leading by example, how did he get guys to really 0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:53.600 rally around him and really follow his lead? I think 0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:56.920 you know when you're somebody, when you're the best player 0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:59.639 on the team. And then he watched him work, and 0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:03.160 he's so the hardest worker. It's hard not for everybody 0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:07.080 else to elevate their level of preparation. And I used 0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:10.960 to marvel at him too, because even going into last year, Um, 0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:13.960 and here's the guy that's you know, was a back 0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:16.480 to back thousand yard rusher. And I'm just think of 0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:18.240 my mind, Okay, how many guys are getting ready to 0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:21.640 play college football to the back to back thousand yard rushers. 0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:24.239 But you'd see him in team meetings, you'd see him 0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:28.320 out of practice. Um. I mean he never cared himself 0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:31.560 like this star or Prima Donna. You know, he kind 0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:34.400 of walked around like, you know, like wow, uh, here's 0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:37.240 the guy's a young freshman trying to make the team 0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:40.440 or something. You know, just very impressed with his humility. 0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:44.640 And I know the guys recognized that too. They knew, 0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:46.600 they knew how good he was. They saw him for 0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:49.760 two years. They saw the great things he did. I 0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:51.320 mean even his frestman or he did a lot of 0:24:51.359 --> 0:24:54.240 great things. Were playing full time those two years, he 0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:57.600 did so many spectacular things. And they saw how he 0:24:57.680 --> 0:25:02.480 worked in all season. Um, you couldn't help as a teammate, 0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:07.400 but just to um, you know, love your ear, Malcolm 0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:11.359 for leader did live by example. Um. He was just 0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:15.239 one of the guys, and I think guys appreciated that. Um. 0:25:15.440 --> 0:25:18.080 You know, sometimes guys talk a lot, but they don't 0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:21.359 produce anything some guys. Sometimes guys don't say much, but 0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:24.359 produce a lot. And that was Malcolm. Yeah, definitely evident 0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:27.240 by his statistics over the last season, two thousand rushing yards, 0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:29.920 a a C Conference Player of the Year, and coach 0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:33.800 Jasper talked about his willingness to do just do everything 0:25:33.840 --> 0:25:35.920 and how much he loved practice and being on the 0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:38.800 football field. And then we had coach ingram On talking 0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:41.600 about how he was taking twenty one credits last semester 0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:44.080 as he was preparing for the NFL Draft. And I'm 0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:46.760 curious to get your take on this coach, because you know, 0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:48.920 in the NFL and college whatever it is, you have 0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:51.680 your position group meeting rooms and this guy is playing 0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:54.480 three four positions. How much extra time did he have 0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:57.960 to put in to get himself ready for game day? Well, 0:25:58.000 --> 0:26:01.080 he did a lot. I remember, uh, you know, and 0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:04.359 one time and summer just coming back and went in 0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:06.640 the office and it was kind of an awful our time. 0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:08.920 You know. I just said, when you speak anybody think 0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:12.480 anybody would be around the academy. Fact that the academy 0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:15.280 was it was a ghost town. There's nobody around, but 0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:17.640 dare I saw Malcolm was a couple of receivers. They're 0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:19.960 coming off the field, you know, and there at the 0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:22.560 ball in hand, and guys, what have you guys been doing? 0:26:22.640 --> 0:26:25.080 So we've just been throwing some routes, you know what 0:26:25.119 --> 0:26:27.040 I mean. It just and I was like, I knew 0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:28.960 then when I saw that we had a we had 0:26:29.000 --> 0:26:31.800 a chance, that this was our Here was our best player, 0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:34.639 you know, to grab a couple of other white outs 0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:38.600 on his own accord when everybody else is gone. You know, 0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:40.960 the academy is a tough place. And so if you 0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:43.960 got some freedom, some some free time and you're allowed 0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:46.480 to leave the yard or the academy, guys are out 0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:49.760 of here. They're they're gonna go out, they're gonna leave. 0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:53.280 And here he was stayed and and he worked. It 0:26:53.400 --> 0:26:55.920 was working out, and I was like, Wow, this guy 0:26:56.040 --> 0:27:01.800 really means business. Uh, he's really excited about about doing this. Um. 0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:04.240 But it's it's like I said, it's been an alcome. 0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:07.840 It's it's been who he's been as coach. Jasper said, 0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:10.200 I mean, he's a he's a guy that loves to 0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:13.440 work out. Um. But he's a competitive guy too. He's 0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:18.399 super competitive. And I know that he there was an 0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:20.440 inner drive. And I think all the great ones you 0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:23.720 see all their physical skills, but then it's the mental 0:27:23.840 --> 0:27:27.160 part that I think that separates people just how bad 0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:29.200 they want, and those are always hard because you can't 0:27:29.240 --> 0:27:30.920 gauge that, and all you can gauge it on is 0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:33.919 the work ethic. How they prepare, you know, and how 0:27:34.000 --> 0:27:37.320 they do things. Um, it's like you said, just getting ready, 0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:42.040 you know, for the draft or a combine. I kind 0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:44.080 of chuckled a little bit because you know, all these 0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:48.479 other guys are at camps have individual trainers. I mean 0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:51.600 he's coming from class. In fact, one day he's you know, 0:27:51.720 --> 0:27:53.960 he was setting up we're we're getting ready to run 0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:59.080 the returning players for our workout. And he is on 0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:01.280 the field before they guys got there, sitting but juggs 0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:04.200 machines with jug machines we can catch balls, and and 0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:06.080 he's asked, what do you doing? He's got to catch 0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:08.959 some balls, and and he was waiting for another teammate 0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:10.720 to come put the balls in the jug machine. And 0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:13.159 where he's at, So he's not here, So you know, 0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:15.520 I'm here. I am. I'm helping them get you know, 0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:18.200 I'm putting the balls and the jug machine for him. 0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:21.760 But I'm thinking, well, here's the guy having to do 0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:24.879 things on his own. What other guys are you know, 0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:28.119 got personal trainers. And I just remember to watching the 0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:31.200 comby watching guys get down. You know, they'd say their 0:28:31.280 --> 0:28:34.280 name and uh, it took them a while to get 0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:37.720 on starting block. They got this routine and you could 0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:39.920 tell that they've been preparing for that for months and 0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:43.040 that's all they've been doing it, Like Malcolm Pare and Malcolm, 0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:45.280 you know, there's a little thing get down and starts 0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:49.280 to run, and you know, just he definitely didn't have 0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:52.080 the preparation times with the other guys, who are most 0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:55.120 of them not in school. But here's Malcolm carrying a 0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:57.840 full load and trying to work out in his off time. 0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:00.520 You know, his he was kind of hazy to me, 0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:03.080 kind of funny. I felt for the kid, like he's 0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:05.680 going against guys that have been training for four months 0:29:05.720 --> 0:29:09.800 and you know he's he's still going to class every day. Yeah, 0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:12.080 and you see the times we'd come back at less 0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:13.880 something like four or six. Coach, I watch him on 0:29:13.920 --> 0:29:17.720 the field, that's he's not a four six guy, is he? No? Yeah, 0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:20.160 that's why I know just and I think the other 0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:23.000 thing that you have to take an account to is 0:29:23.160 --> 0:29:26.960 just you know, we played late, you know with our 0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:30.040 late army. Our Army game obviously is the latest game, 0:29:30.520 --> 0:29:33.440 any regular season game. So we played all the ways 0:29:33.520 --> 0:29:37.240 to the second week of December. And you know, he's 0:29:37.280 --> 0:29:40.520 a quarterback. You know, all quarterbacks take a take a pony, 0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:43.920 but an option quarterback takes a ton. And he carried 0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:46.200 the ball a ton this year, you know, so the 0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:48.480 rush you know, going into that game or whatever, he 0:29:48.520 --> 0:29:53.560 had eighteen hounds yards or whatever or seven he had 0:29:53.720 --> 0:29:57.960 a ton of yards prior to that, and he was 0:29:58.000 --> 0:30:01.200 beat up going into that game. Uh So he's you know, 0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:04.280 the effects of the season of a guy that we 0:30:04.360 --> 0:30:06.280 gave all the ball all the time. You know, there's 0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:08.960 been some comps. Can he really be able to handle it? 0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:11.960 I mean, he was an option quarterback at a hundred 0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:15.760 and nine pounds, you know, for a full season candal load, 0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:19.440 and he played you know, thirteen games, so he was 0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:22.880 still beat up. I've seen him run away from guys 0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:28.040 from you know, Notre Dame, Central Florida, s MBU, Houston 0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:30.760 and all these guys that I see they get drafted 0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:34.320 from different places are you know malcos run away from Temple. 0:30:34.920 --> 0:30:37.840 You know, he's the one guy that's we've had that 0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:40.560 we haven't had slotback like him before running back. Then 0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:43.200 when he breaks, he goes. You know a lot of 0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:45.720 times we get caught and then we have to you know, 0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:47.480 line up on the tan or something like that. But 0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:51.240 Malcolm's run away from everybody. Yeah, the Army game, I 0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:53.360 think it was the first touchdown. He he did not 0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:56.360 have anything close to an angle and he just completely 0:30:56.440 --> 0:30:58.960 erased the angle the defender did have on him and 0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:00.720 just raced right into the when you get the scoring 0:31:00.760 --> 0:31:02.760 started there. Then you go to the Shrine Bowl and 0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:04.520 you talk about how he runs away from these other 0:31:04.600 --> 0:31:06.920 kids that are getting drafted higher and kids that are 0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:09.200 having these forty times that are times better and he 0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:11.280 gets he gets one chance at a carry in the 0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:13.280 Shrine Game, and what does he do besides take a 0:31:13.360 --> 0:31:16.000 fifty yards into the end zone for a touchdown. Definitely, 0:31:16.120 --> 0:31:18.920 just just a special kid. And talk about his maturity 0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:21.240 and the discipline that you have to have to to 0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:23.640 do the stuff that you mentioned, and you you wonder 0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:25.800 how much of that comes from his family and his parents. 0:31:26.000 --> 0:31:28.160 And I'm curious to ask you, coach, he had two 0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:30.200 parents that both went to army, how do you get 0:31:30.320 --> 0:31:35.520 him over to navy? Um, coach herem you know was 0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:40.760 a are the best recruit in our staff? Uh? These 0:31:40.800 --> 0:31:44.040 are cretic Keenan Reynolds obviously Malcolm to the best football 0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:46.880 players and many others that comes to the academy. But 0:31:47.560 --> 0:31:51.280 Cosino did a great job. Um. I think when he 0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:53.040 came on his business, you know, like you said, he's 0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:56.520 got wonderful parents, both of them served in the army 0:31:56.560 --> 0:32:00.080 and you know, great people. But I think coming to 0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:03.960 our school and I think the things that resonated with 0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:08.760 him family, Uh, unity, you know, we got a brotherhood 0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:12.440 that loves each other. You know, so much of stuff now, Travis, 0:32:12.520 --> 0:32:15.080 and recruiting is about you know, the bells and whistles 0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:19.800 of gold lockers and you know, gold plated weight rooms 0:32:19.800 --> 0:32:21.240 and you know, I mean just things like that. And 0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:24.320 I think he saw few all of that stuff. He 0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:28.720 came and saw the tight unity of a family, and 0:32:28.760 --> 0:32:30.520 I think that resonated with him, you know, And I 0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:33.160 think it he saw that who we were and I 0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:38.000 think he felt very very comfortable at our at our school. Um. 0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:40.760 But that's you know, that's kind of been him. He's 0:32:40.800 --> 0:32:43.720 been a humble kids from the beginning. You know, even 0:32:43.760 --> 0:32:47.560 after the Army Navy game, you know, we're waiting on him. 0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:50.200 He took forever to get back in the locker room, 0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:52.800 and I think, you know, talking to some people. Malcolm 0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:55.120 was outside to shake the people's hands and you know, 0:32:55.440 --> 0:33:00.840 signing autographs, you know, not from both full stay, but 0:33:00.960 --> 0:33:04.200 just want to standpoint of just being um, I didn't 0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:07.080 want to let anybody down. And I just think it 0:33:07.160 --> 0:33:09.280 was like, you know, the bad coaching our part. We 0:33:09.320 --> 0:33:11.920 should have somebody with him, you know, as they started 0:33:11.920 --> 0:33:13.400 to feel we should have got him back intore, but 0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:17.240 he sent everybody's law and uh, you know, autographs and 0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:21.040 but that's just Malcolm. He's just a phenomenal, phenomenal kid. 0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:23.160 I think he's certainly on track to be to be 0:33:23.240 --> 0:33:25.920 a fan favorite down in South Florida. And that was 0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:29.000 his last regular season game with the Navy program there. 0:33:29.160 --> 0:33:30.920 I want to go back for the last question here 0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:33.560 for you, coach, and the first ever varsity game where 0:33:33.600 --> 0:33:36.520 he was pulled out of the stands as the emergency quarterback. 0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:39.000 He had been sick all week and didn't practice much 0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:41.640 and didn't dress for the game. But your starting quarterback 0:33:41.680 --> 0:33:44.040 gets hurt in the first half, so he dresses down 0:33:44.160 --> 0:33:46.760 at halftime and comes into the game in the second half. 0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:50.440 Can you tell us about that story? Well, we you know, 0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:54.280 obviously you never want your starter to go down, and 0:33:54.600 --> 0:33:58.080 you know we had another quarterback behind uh in our 0:33:58.160 --> 0:34:01.560 third stream quarterback was actually paying another position, I believe 0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:04.480 at that time. And so the game kind of got 0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:07.520 out of hand. And you know we started as our 0:34:07.680 --> 0:34:09.960 you know, early game for us. You know, we didn't 0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:14.400 want our now starter to get hurt. Um. You know, 0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:16.759 one and one thought is we're just gonna do some 0:34:16.880 --> 0:34:19.399 things where you know, there's no chance of him getting hurt. 0:34:19.480 --> 0:34:21.560 He could just hand the ball off and finished the 0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:25.880 game out because we had a sizeable league. Uh. But 0:34:26.120 --> 0:34:28.239 you know what ended up having coach Jasper and our 0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:32.360 equipment guide. Um, they went just what they got. They 0:34:32.440 --> 0:34:34.760 got malcol suited up, you know, and they said, coach 0:34:35.160 --> 0:34:37.840 we got We went and called Malcolm, got him suited up. 0:34:37.880 --> 0:34:39.160 You know what I mean? I don't know, but it's 0:34:39.200 --> 0:34:43.480 kind of funnycles coming from where and so and so 0:34:43.600 --> 0:34:44.880 it's a game that I was gon no, you know, 0:34:44.880 --> 0:34:47.239 I don't want a guy that had any practice with us, 0:34:47.400 --> 0:34:48.719 you know, I mean, you can't put him in a game. 0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:51.120 They know. Those are my thoughts. But then I started 0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:53.440 to think a little bit of well, you know, you 0:34:53.680 --> 0:34:55.799 talk with coach Jasper. It's like, coach, you probably should 0:34:55.840 --> 0:34:57.960 take out. Well, we don't want him to get hurt. 0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:01.040 Sot right, let's put Hi come and said he's ready, 0:35:01.120 --> 0:35:03.440 and he goes, yeah, you know, Greg's got his you 0:35:03.680 --> 0:35:06.480 got his his uniform, his equipment, and put him out 0:35:06.480 --> 0:35:08.200 of his stance, all right, mightna put him in there, 0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:12.080 and um, you not only went in there and finished 0:35:12.080 --> 0:35:14.600 the game, he did well, which is like I thought, 0:35:14.640 --> 0:35:16.719 we just hand the ball off, you know, just try 0:35:16.800 --> 0:35:19.000 to get out of the game with the w He 0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:21.080 went out there and did some really really good things 0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:24.719 and that was the beginning of the the Malcolm's you know, 0:35:25.120 --> 0:35:27.400 Perry deal, and he did that for the rest of 0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:30.520 his career. He had one carry belief. Later on, I 0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:32.200 think we moved them back to slop back when I 0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:35.319 didn't play as much but played in the ballgame. Came 0:35:35.360 --> 0:35:38.520 in again, and I think again it's similar to the 0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:41.400 Shrine boy. First carry. He went out the back for 0:35:41.719 --> 0:35:44.839 like a forty yeard touchdown or something, and just it's 0:35:44.920 --> 0:35:47.279 like every time he touches the ball, it's you know, 0:35:47.600 --> 0:35:50.719 great things happen, and Malcolm's production last year certainly did 0:35:50.840 --> 0:35:53.320 make plenty of great things happened with two thousand seventeen 0:35:53.360 --> 0:35:56.200 rushing yards. Coach, we really appreciate your time today and 0:35:56.239 --> 0:35:59.440 best of luck this upcoming season. Okay, Drivis, thank you 0:35:59.520 --> 0:36:01.920 to take care and the way there goes coach and 0:36:02.040 --> 0:36:05.360 this organization, this football program here is just so first 0:36:05.440 --> 0:36:07.680 class and so well run. You hear it there from 0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:10.560 up top with coach Nia mat Lolo, from players like 0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:13.800 Malcolm Perry that really resonate and really deliver that message 0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:16.520 of the football team. You heard him talk about the 0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:21.480 integral recruiter that helped get Malcolm Perry to Navy even 0:36:21.560 --> 0:36:24.000 though he has two parents that were Army veterans. He 0:36:24.120 --> 0:36:26.920 gave credit to coach Ashley Ingram, who is the run 0:36:27.040 --> 0:36:30.800 game coordinator and interior offensive lines coach there at Navy, 0:36:31.040 --> 0:36:33.240 and he is my next interview subject on this Malcolm 0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:37.560 Perry episode. Alright, Coach Ingram, welcome in, and first I 0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:40.000 wanted to congratulate you on the eleven one season. The 0:36:40.080 --> 0:36:43.040 bull victory and of course beating Army. And in that 0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:46.359 Army game, he had quite a day, didn't he. Oh 0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:51.319 he did, he was. He was impressive. Um he had 0:36:51.600 --> 0:36:53.920 he had one for ages and he was right at 0:36:53.960 --> 0:36:55.879 the end of the game. We were we were up, 0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:59.040 and I think somebody told us on the sideline that 0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:03.440 he needs like six yards to break the Army Navy 0:37:03.560 --> 0:37:06.120 rushing record, you know, for a single season. Well then 0:37:06.160 --> 0:37:08.400 he breaks off like a fifteen yard run and then 0:37:08.440 --> 0:37:10.960 somebody goes, well, you don't, you only need six yards 0:37:11.040 --> 0:37:14.440 for three hundred yards. So we actually called one more 0:37:14.520 --> 0:37:16.160 run for him, and I think he went like twenty 0:37:16.200 --> 0:37:19.880 five yards were touchdown. So well, he was. He was special. 0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:22.640 So and you know he had a two hundred yard 0:37:22.760 --> 0:37:26.520 rushing Army game or two fifty two years prior, and 0:37:26.600 --> 0:37:28.920 then he had a three hundred yard rushing game in 0:37:29.040 --> 0:37:32.320 that game. So he uh, he played really well against 0:37:32.320 --> 0:37:35.040 those guys. Well, it should come as as almost no 0:37:35.160 --> 0:37:36.920 surprise that he was able to do that. I think 0:37:36.960 --> 0:37:38.920 it was something like sixty five rounds he had of 0:37:39.000 --> 0:37:41.600 ten yards or more. Just constant production. For you guys 0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:43.800 out there, and you were the one in charge of 0:37:43.920 --> 0:37:49.360 recruiting him right right, Yeah, I did recruiting Parksville, Tennessee, 0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:53.200 and uh kim Wood High schools where he was at. Well, 0:37:53.239 --> 0:37:55.240 I'm curious to ask you because both of his parents 0:37:55.320 --> 0:37:58.000 were Army cadets and you manage you to get him 0:37:58.040 --> 0:38:01.560 over to the Navy. How'd you do that? Uh? Well, 0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:03.680 we got on him early. Uh, and I think we 0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:06.360 were the first to offer him. Um. I had a 0:38:06.680 --> 0:38:09.319 relationship with his high school coach, and when you watch 0:38:09.400 --> 0:38:11.279 this film, it was just obvious that he was a 0:38:11.560 --> 0:38:13.960 you know, a special football player. He was playing a 0:38:14.040 --> 0:38:16.759 quarterback and I don't think there's a path on his 0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:20.000 high school highlight video and it's all running, which which 0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:23.680 was really impressive. But um, you know, I thought we 0:38:24.200 --> 0:38:26.839 established a good relationship with him early on, and then 0:38:27.040 --> 0:38:28.839 you know, as a staff, we were recruited it really 0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:31.680 hard and got into the home and then home visits. 0:38:31.760 --> 0:38:35.000 And I think when when he is he's mentioned, uh 0:38:35.400 --> 0:38:37.880 you know why he chose Navy. He really said he 0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:39.719 was kind of old about two people. You know, coach 0:38:39.840 --> 0:38:43.719 neamt Ivan Jasper obviously was going to be his position coach, 0:38:43.800 --> 0:38:46.000 and they got to know each other well. Uh, and 0:38:46.040 --> 0:38:48.479 I just think that, you know, like like we felt 0:38:48.480 --> 0:38:50.920 about him, I think he's a connection with us as well. 0:38:51.920 --> 0:38:54.000 I had a chance to talk to coach Jasper just 0:38:54.040 --> 0:38:55.839 a little bit ago, and he was talking about how 0:38:56.360 --> 0:38:59.520 how important the academics were to Malcolm, and also how 0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:02.000 hard he practice and how he looked forward to practice 0:39:02.040 --> 0:39:04.040 every day. And I was curious to get your take, 0:39:04.120 --> 0:39:07.000 coach on the fact that he did play multiple positions 0:39:07.040 --> 0:39:08.920 for you guys, slot back, a little bit of quarterback. 0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:11.160 He would run some routes out of receiver as well. 0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:13.600 So how much does that put on a plate for 0:39:13.680 --> 0:39:16.359 a kid who already has so many expectations of him 0:39:16.560 --> 0:39:19.880 out of place like Navy, where academia and your structure, 0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:23.600 your structure every day is so important, you know. I 0:39:23.760 --> 0:39:27.800 think the the athletics stuff, I think it's it's just 0:39:27.960 --> 0:39:30.880 a reflection to who he is as a person. You know. 0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:33.640 I think he's a he's a hard worker, he's a 0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:36.520 you know, maybe he's an always obviously has some talents, 0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:41.320 but he's an overachiever, he's tough, he's selfless, um. But 0:39:41.560 --> 0:39:44.160 all those things show up on the football field, you know, 0:39:44.200 --> 0:39:46.320 whether it be in the weight room or practice or 0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:49.600 in games. But those those same I think that's who 0:39:49.640 --> 0:39:52.000 he is at the person though. Um And I think 0:39:52.120 --> 0:39:54.640 that shocked me at all that academics meant a lot 0:39:54.760 --> 0:39:57.120 to him. It didn't surprise me that he wants to 0:39:57.160 --> 0:39:58.840 do well in life and he you know that he 0:39:58.920 --> 0:40:00.840 wants to work for everything and that he gets and 0:40:01.480 --> 0:40:04.239 and if you just look at his career here, Uh, 0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:07.000 the things that he did on the field speak for themselves. 0:40:07.160 --> 0:40:10.040 But I mean, how many kids are are that selfless? 0:40:10.440 --> 0:40:13.080 I mean kids will move positions two or three times 0:40:13.160 --> 0:40:16.120 to do whatever they can do to help the football team. Um. 0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:18.680 And I think more than anything that I could speak 0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:20.920 to is just the kind of young man that he is, 0:40:21.040 --> 0:40:24.000 the kind of character he has, um and not that 0:40:24.160 --> 0:40:27.920 he's not confident, but a humble a humble guy that 0:40:28.160 --> 0:40:32.040 will do whatever he can for his team and organization. UM. 0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:34.960 So I think you guys got a great young man 0:40:35.400 --> 0:40:37.600 on the top of a great football player. I think 0:40:37.680 --> 0:40:39.840 one of the best stories there is about Malcolm in 0:40:39.880 --> 0:40:41.880 regards to the fact that he is just a gamer 0:40:42.120 --> 0:40:44.040 who wants to get out there and play football is 0:40:44.120 --> 0:40:46.080 the story that was told to me. And I'm hoping 0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:48.400 you can give us some more details on this about 0:40:48.480 --> 0:40:50.759 his first ever varsity game where he's pulled out of 0:40:50.800 --> 0:40:54.000 the stands to be the emergency quarterback. I read this story, coach, 0:40:54.040 --> 0:40:55.680 and I'm like, there's no way that can be real. 0:40:55.800 --> 0:40:58.200 So can you just walk us through what happened, how 0:40:58.280 --> 0:41:00.680 that decision got made, and how he able to impact 0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:04.640 the game that night? Yeah, so what, There's a lot 0:41:04.680 --> 0:41:06.520 of things led up to it, So it was not 0:41:06.719 --> 0:41:09.919 like he was just This isn't a Michael Jordan's story 0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:12.000 where he was cutting from the varsity or anything like that. 0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:15.240 So so he was he was actually gonna be dressing 0:41:15.360 --> 0:41:18.439 that Saturday, but he actually was just the opening game 0:41:18.520 --> 0:41:20.840 of his career. And I think he got a stomach 0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:24.240 virus earlier in the week, so he missed some practice 0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:26.960 time being sick, and think that he was feeling better 0:41:27.080 --> 0:41:29.919 later in the week. And I think the determination coach 0:41:30.000 --> 0:41:32.240 made was, you know, if he's had a stomach virus 0:41:32.360 --> 0:41:34.279 and there's a chance he could get other guys sick, 0:41:34.719 --> 0:41:36.759 maybe we should kind of keep him away from the team. 0:41:36.920 --> 0:41:38.839 Let's don't bring him to the hotel, let's don't bring 0:41:38.960 --> 0:41:41.480 him over. So we decided not to dressing that game 0:41:41.560 --> 0:41:44.440 because he had been sick. Uh. Well, we get into 0:41:44.520 --> 0:41:48.320 the game. He has brushed in his his summer whites. 0:41:48.400 --> 0:41:51.279 He's up in his military uniform in the stands, and 0:41:51.600 --> 0:41:56.279 uh our starting quarterback, Tago Smith towards a c l 0:41:57.080 --> 0:42:00.560 uh in the first quarter. And our back quarterback was 0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:03.799 a really good football player, and we've got a nice 0:42:03.880 --> 0:42:07.080 lead on the team we're playing. I can't remember exactly who. 0:42:07.080 --> 0:42:09.680 It was, cold game or something. Well, it gets to 0:42:09.760 --> 0:42:12.279 the point where we've already lost one quarterback. We can't 0:42:12.760 --> 0:42:15.279 let this, you know. Our next guy continued to play 0:42:15.440 --> 0:42:17.759 the rest of the game. I think there may have 0:42:17.840 --> 0:42:20.360 been another quarterback that was injured, you know. So we 0:42:20.480 --> 0:42:22.600 just got to the point where I mean what, I 0:42:22.640 --> 0:42:24.839 don't know how exactly how it worked and who called 0:42:24.880 --> 0:42:27.759 him down or how all those things worked. But it 0:42:27.920 --> 0:42:30.879 was just kind of a crazy series events that led 0:42:30.960 --> 0:42:33.359 him to the bleachers. But then a you know, kind 0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:36.680 of a crazy series events that led him at halftime 0:42:36.760 --> 0:42:38.759 going to get dressed and playing most of the second 0:42:38.800 --> 0:42:41.719 half at quarterback in his first game ever played. Well, 0:42:42.360 --> 0:42:45.279 marcis down the field on a scoring drive and you know, 0:42:45.360 --> 0:42:48.120 all those things. So it's one of those crazy stories, 0:42:48.160 --> 0:42:52.400 but it's a it's true and uh yeah, it definitely happened, 0:42:52.680 --> 0:42:54.400 and he just he never turned back from there in 0:42:54.520 --> 0:42:57.600 terms of the production and coach Niamatolo actually called him 0:42:57.600 --> 0:43:00.040 the greatest running back he's ever coached a Navy and 0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:02.400 he has the best instinct he's ever seen. I'm curious 0:43:02.440 --> 0:43:04.400 to get your take in the film room when you 0:43:04.440 --> 0:43:06.440 guys are sitting there breaking down that the you know, 0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:08.440 the play calls on structure and then you have a 0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:10.560 player that goes off structure and makes a play like that. 0:43:10.920 --> 0:43:12.879 Did he just constantly a wow you when you watch 0:43:12.960 --> 0:43:17.399 the tape, Yeah, he did. He's uh, you know, I've 0:43:17.400 --> 0:43:19.719 been I've been here, you know, going on thirteen years 0:43:19.760 --> 0:43:22.840 now too. He's the he's the most dynamic runner that 0:43:23.040 --> 0:43:25.640 we've had, the most dynamic guy with the ball in 0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:28.040 his hands. And he's done it as you mentioned, nerd, 0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:31.160 and he's done it from quarterback. Uh, he's done it 0:43:31.440 --> 0:43:34.600 wide receiver, he's done it at slot. He some of 0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:37.400 his best plays this year we're called passes where he 0:43:37.480 --> 0:43:40.040 didn't see anybody opening. He just took off running and 0:43:40.160 --> 0:43:42.920 moving and uh, yes, some of his stuff was kind 0:43:42.920 --> 0:43:46.920 of all stripped and uh, but just the ability to 0:43:47.080 --> 0:43:49.840 change directions. He's gonna be a lot stronger than what 0:43:49.960 --> 0:43:52.480 people think too. Uh, you know, he's kind of hard 0:43:52.520 --> 0:43:54.879 to bring down. The arm tackles donna get him down. 0:43:55.040 --> 0:43:56.799 And I think there's gonna be a little more speed 0:43:56.920 --> 0:43:59.760 to than what people, you know, expect them as combined 0:43:59.800 --> 0:44:02.200 town times and things like that. Yeah, I noticed that too. 0:44:02.280 --> 0:44:04.160 You watch him run on the field and the place 0:44:04.239 --> 0:44:06.280 being compared to the time speed, it just looks completely 0:44:06.320 --> 0:44:08.839 different compared to what he was clocked in that forty 0:44:08.920 --> 0:44:12.239 yard dash. So I think that's pretty evident. You know. 0:44:12.320 --> 0:44:14.239 The other thing on that, and I think people and 0:44:14.480 --> 0:44:16.160 I think this is maybe a defense of all of 0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:19.239 our guys at the Naval Academy is you know, most 0:44:19.320 --> 0:44:22.279 guys when they go to the combine, you know they 0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:25.960 have they've actually gone to a facility and a training 0:44:26.080 --> 0:44:29.000 camp in Arizona or Florida, and they've worked on all 0:44:29.080 --> 0:44:31.640 these skills, and they've worked on their forty times and 0:44:31.719 --> 0:44:34.160 all this. Well, you know, Malcolm was he was walking 0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:37.680 around the Naval Academy drift in military uniforms and taking 0:44:37.719 --> 0:44:40.040 twenty one credits while all these guys were off doing 0:44:40.080 --> 0:44:43.480 all those other things. So I think that some of 0:44:43.560 --> 0:44:47.359 those times are obviously manipulated and guys worked really hard 0:44:47.400 --> 0:44:48.759 on him where I just don't think he had an 0:44:48.760 --> 0:44:52.080 opportunity to do that. So I think there's and I 0:44:52.120 --> 0:44:55.319 think there's a little more to you know, a good start. 0:44:55.400 --> 0:44:58.080 They would never run another forty yard daturs. I think 0:44:58.120 --> 0:45:00.959 there's I think there's something that what you said about 0:45:00.960 --> 0:45:03.799 the game speed as opposed to that time speed, right, 0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:06.479 because they go they work on like you mentioned, the start, 0:45:06.560 --> 0:45:09.839 and they literally spend hours getting themselves prepared to get 0:45:09.880 --> 0:45:12.480 off the line and get that clock speed down. But 0:45:12.719 --> 0:45:15.839 it just doesn't really translate, does it. Yeah? It does 0:45:15.920 --> 0:45:19.120 that mean you he's just to pootball players, I guess, 0:45:19.520 --> 0:45:22.080 instead of talking about those guys. But I think he'll 0:45:22.120 --> 0:45:24.680 do well. But I think he's gonna show up when 0:45:24.800 --> 0:45:27.239 when it counts on the football field. I wanted to 0:45:27.280 --> 0:45:29.319 ask you a little bit, coach about him off the field, 0:45:29.360 --> 0:45:31.160 because we've heard some stories and like you said, he 0:45:31.200 --> 0:45:32.920 won't talk about it, so I gotta get someone else 0:45:32.920 --> 0:45:35.440 to tell me about it. But he he was he 0:45:35.640 --> 0:45:38.480 was one of I think six siblings, was it, and 0:45:38.800 --> 0:45:40.719 he had a sister passed away when he was eight 0:45:40.800 --> 0:45:42.960 years old. Due to a heart condition. Do you know 0:45:43.160 --> 0:45:45.360 much about that and kind of has he has he 0:45:45.440 --> 0:45:47.719 talked about it, opened up about it, and maybe kind 0:45:47.719 --> 0:45:51.000 of the impact is on him as a person. I 0:45:51.120 --> 0:45:53.759 don't know much about that story. I have heard that. 0:45:55.080 --> 0:45:58.719 I said, our recruitered him, UM and so got to 0:45:58.800 --> 0:46:01.640 know a little bit in high school. UM have home 0:46:01.760 --> 0:46:04.080 visited him and with him and his mom and dad. 0:46:05.120 --> 0:46:07.920 But Canada, to be honest with he's a he's a 0:46:08.040 --> 0:46:12.000 quiet guy's reserved. I would have phone conversations, are attempt 0:46:12.040 --> 0:46:16.160 to have phone conversations within UM when we were recruiting him, 0:46:16.440 --> 0:46:18.239 and he just you know, you obviously have to kind 0:46:18.280 --> 0:46:19.640 of proud him a little bit to get him to 0:46:19.800 --> 0:46:22.279 open up to talk. But that's just his personality. So 0:46:22.719 --> 0:46:26.600 I'm sure those things we're driving factors in his life. 0:46:26.719 --> 0:46:28.160 But to be honestly, I didn't. I didn't know a 0:46:28.239 --> 0:46:32.399 lot about some of those things. He's he's much better 0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:35.239 to communicate by text and he has sometimes don't get 0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:39.040 to move on the phone. So that's probably most the 0:46:39.120 --> 0:46:42.200 kids you deal with these days, right, Yeah, But I 0:46:42.280 --> 0:46:44.440 think he checked it to the next level. He's just 0:46:45.400 --> 0:46:48.440 he's a quiet guy and he's he said, he's humble, 0:46:48.920 --> 0:46:51.880 he's got confidence, but he's not you know, he's not bolsterus, 0:46:51.920 --> 0:46:54.440 He's not a you know, I wouldn't say he's not 0:46:54.480 --> 0:46:56.680 a super outgoing Guy's just kind of the way he is. 0:46:56.760 --> 0:46:58.880 And he I think he's got obviously a lot of 0:46:58.960 --> 0:47:02.600 internal motivation. And then I'm sure on those family situations 0:47:02.640 --> 0:47:04.560 and may be losing his sister probably play a part 0:47:04.600 --> 0:47:07.279 in that. Yeah, absolutely, And it's the fact that he's 0:47:07.280 --> 0:47:09.680 able to bounce around different position rooms, in different meeting 0:47:09.760 --> 0:47:11.759 rooms and get in the weight room in the academics 0:47:11.800 --> 0:47:14.040 like you mentioned, just a really good, cool sounding kid. 0:47:14.080 --> 0:47:15.719 I'm excited to have a chance to to get to 0:47:15.800 --> 0:47:17.600 know him down here and see him play on Sundays 0:47:17.640 --> 0:47:20.000 and and uh, he's actually the first Miami Dolphin to 0:47:20.000 --> 0:47:22.400 be drafted out of the Service academies, so he has 0:47:22.480 --> 0:47:24.560 that going for him as well. And and a coach, 0:47:24.640 --> 0:47:26.279 We really appreciate your time today. Congrats to get on 0:47:26.360 --> 0:47:28.879 the season. Eleven wins, a bull victory beat an army. 0:47:29.080 --> 0:47:31.480 Can't get much better than that, now, it was a 0:47:31.520 --> 0:47:35.200 great one. Congratulations and you guys taking Malcolm too. I 0:47:35.239 --> 0:47:36.520 think he's gonna be a good one. And I know 0:47:36.600 --> 0:47:38.800 you're gonna enjoy him quite a bit. Well, coach, we 0:47:38.800 --> 0:47:40.759 really appreciate your time today. Thank you for that, and 0:47:41.080 --> 0:47:44.759 best of luck this season. Okay, take care and there 0:47:44.800 --> 0:47:48.560 he goes Coach Ingram the run game coordinator and interior 0:47:48.640 --> 0:47:51.400 offensive line coach there at Navy and finishing up this 0:47:51.520 --> 0:47:54.520 interview series with Malcolm Perry. We got cut a little 0:47:54.560 --> 0:47:56.360 bit short at the end, but I did get some 0:47:56.440 --> 0:47:59.640 good nuggets and notes out of Navy quarterbacks coach and 0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:03.719 fensive coordinator Ivan Jasper. All right, Coach Jasper, thank you 0:48:03.800 --> 0:48:06.800 for doing this. Welcome in, and first, congrats on a 0:48:06.960 --> 0:48:09.239 very good season last year, the double digit wins, the 0:48:09.360 --> 0:48:12.680 victory over Army. But first with Malcolm Perry. Here, I 0:48:12.760 --> 0:48:14.840 want to ask you who are we getting in this 0:48:14.920 --> 0:48:19.200 football player? Who are we getting in Miami? And Malcolm Perry, Well, obviously, 0:48:19.200 --> 0:48:21.480 you know when when we recruited him, Um, you know, 0:48:21.520 --> 0:48:25.120 obviously all the kids come on recruiting visits, um, and 0:48:25.360 --> 0:48:27.040 obviously from the from the video, we knew he was 0:48:27.040 --> 0:48:30.600 a great football player. Um. You know that he got 0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:33.520 from a military family, so obviously fit what we're looking for. 0:48:33.680 --> 0:48:36.960 He understood what we were about, what the school stood 0:48:37.000 --> 0:48:39.360 for what the military stands for. So that was always 0:48:39.360 --> 0:48:42.400 a major plus for us in recruiting. The main thing 0:48:42.440 --> 0:48:44.640 I remember was on his recruiting visit was basically just 0:48:44.719 --> 0:48:47.920 a really quiet kid. Um. Didn't say much, you know, 0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:50.280 it was just that's always been I'm just always always 0:48:50.320 --> 0:48:54.360 been a kid. Um. At the same time, you know, 0:48:54.560 --> 0:48:56.880 just when you around his friend, he does kind of 0:48:56.960 --> 0:49:00.160 loosen up, you know, But it was always a quiet kid. Um. 0:49:00.320 --> 0:49:02.480 And then he went to our prep school first, you know, 0:49:02.520 --> 0:49:05.480 it's a one year program, went there first and and Um, 0:49:05.760 --> 0:49:08.160 you know, just to get himself more prepared, you know, 0:49:08.239 --> 0:49:10.960 for the academy, the academics you know, and the military 0:49:11.040 --> 0:49:14.200 part of it, Um, and and doing the recruiting time. 0:49:14.320 --> 0:49:18.320 Each coach goes up there to visit with them, you know, 0:49:18.440 --> 0:49:20.160 to just to check up on him, you know. So 0:49:20.440 --> 0:49:22.160 I do remember going up there and checking all the guys, 0:49:22.200 --> 0:49:23.640 and I sat down and met with every one of 0:49:23.680 --> 0:49:26.560 the offensive players and sat and talked with him, you know. 0:49:26.680 --> 0:49:28.719 And again it was a great meeting, you know. But 0:49:28.840 --> 0:49:30.839 but I do remember coming out and and H called 0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:33.120 in coach Ingram and saying, coach, you know, just technic 0:49:33.120 --> 0:49:35.560 coaching income because of coaching and recruited him. Just how 0:49:35.760 --> 0:49:38.320 specially for a kid I thought he was. Um. Again, 0:49:38.440 --> 0:49:40.839 just just seeing him more and also seeing him after 0:49:40.920 --> 0:49:44.400 he had been through the process of our prep school. 0:49:44.440 --> 0:49:45.840 You know, he had already been there for you know, 0:49:46.000 --> 0:49:49.160 for half four semesters, so you know, Um, he has 0:49:49.200 --> 0:49:50.480 kind of changed a lot. You know, he kind of 0:49:50.520 --> 0:49:53.560 grew up some. I'm still quiet, but you see the 0:49:53.640 --> 0:49:55.399 maturity to look in his eyes if he always asked, 0:49:55.440 --> 0:49:57.880 he always had clear eyes, you know. So again we 0:49:58.320 --> 0:50:00.080 know we had got a great football player and and 0:50:00.120 --> 0:50:02.359 a great young man, you know. And then obviously when 0:50:02.360 --> 0:50:04.960 it came to the academy, Um started out playing uh 0:50:05.120 --> 0:50:08.840 slide back for us and again never stopped being a 0:50:08.920 --> 0:50:11.560 quiet person, but just a good football player. UM and 0:50:11.719 --> 0:50:13.640 I do here when he's around his frenzies, he does 0:50:13.719 --> 0:50:17.480 talk more, but you know, around the coaches again, he 0:50:17.560 --> 0:50:21.520 was just always a quiet kid, very very very attentive. Um. Again, 0:50:21.960 --> 0:50:24.759 always studies playbook, you know, always making sure things that 0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:27.239 he knows what's going on. And then obviously, you know, 0:50:27.480 --> 0:50:29.719 get on the football field, and that was pretty much 0:50:29.719 --> 0:50:32.640 spoke for herself. You know, just a great football player. UM. 0:50:32.840 --> 0:50:34.960 And I think the one thing that that that I've 0:50:34.960 --> 0:50:36.600 been able to learn about him. The thing that I 0:50:36.719 --> 0:50:39.000 think is, you know, truly special, but just kid just 0:50:39.120 --> 0:50:41.480 loves to practice, you know. And and again that that 0:50:41.600 --> 0:50:44.320 might sound a little you know or something that, but 0:50:44.560 --> 0:50:46.600 I mean I've I've come across a few kids in 0:50:46.680 --> 0:50:49.880 my coaching career, you know that that that I truly 0:50:50.400 --> 0:50:52.759 felt that, but just they love to practice. The kids 0:50:52.760 --> 0:50:54.800 just love to practice. I mean look forward to practice 0:50:54.800 --> 0:50:58.000 every single day. Came out there the same every single day, 0:50:58.280 --> 0:51:01.279 you know, always had the energy, always always practiced hard. 0:51:01.760 --> 0:51:04.080 Everything he did was full speed, to the point where 0:51:04.120 --> 0:51:05.360 something I we had to tell him to kind of 0:51:05.400 --> 0:51:08.040 hold off a little bit because it's just just a 0:51:08.080 --> 0:51:11.440 great person, you know. Um with him the Q biggest 0:51:11.480 --> 0:51:13.120 junior year, but then we kind of moved him back, 0:51:13.880 --> 0:51:16.279 UM and then a senior yearly obviously he took over 0:51:16.360 --> 0:51:18.880 full The biggest thing for him when he moved a 0:51:18.960 --> 0:51:21.400 quarterback because he was always he was a coach. I 0:51:21.480 --> 0:51:23.120 just want to make sure I know what's going on. 0:51:23.440 --> 0:51:25.360 You know, I don't want to screw anything up. I 0:51:25.400 --> 0:51:27.759 don't want to hurt the team. Just make sure you 0:51:27.840 --> 0:51:30.080 know it's make sure that you know I want to 0:51:30.120 --> 0:51:32.000 make sure I want to be coached right, and just 0:51:32.200 --> 0:51:33.600 make make sure that I know everything that's going on, 0:51:33.800 --> 0:51:35.719 and just make sure I don't got a dams grewp 0:51:35.760 --> 0:51:37.080 you know. So Again, so we always knew that that 0:51:37.600 --> 0:51:40.400 perfections was in was in him, even in the classroom, 0:51:40.560 --> 0:51:42.759 you know. And that's something that that's I should have said. 0:51:42.800 --> 0:51:46.000 Even first. He was always big on his academics. Um, 0:51:46.160 --> 0:51:47.799 if he has a bad test score, he got down 0:51:47.840 --> 0:51:51.320 on himself, you know. And again but he was always 0:51:51.360 --> 0:51:55.720 that perfectionist type of person, you know. So, but obviously 0:51:55.760 --> 0:51:58.799 don't want wouldn't the QB and the same deal with him, 0:51:58.880 --> 0:52:00.440 just just wanted to make sure that they knew what 0:52:00.480 --> 0:52:02.040 was going on. He knew the game planning now, he 0:52:02.120 --> 0:52:05.839 asked all the questions, make sure everything. Um, you got 0:52:05.880 --> 0:52:08.000 his eyes across all the teas and uh and I 0:52:08.080 --> 0:52:10.120 was when I got down side, you know. Silda just 0:52:10.320 --> 0:52:13.520 just played great. He had a great senior year, great career. Um, 0:52:13.840 --> 0:52:15.400 when the balls in that young man's hand, he just 0:52:15.480 --> 0:52:18.120 has a way of doing things, you know. So and 0:52:18.320 --> 0:52:19.880 and and a lot of what he does you you 0:52:19.960 --> 0:52:24.200 can't really coach, you know. So yeah, yeah, just a 0:52:24.239 --> 0:52:26.640 special player, especially young man. Yeah, we saw I think 0:52:26.680 --> 0:52:28.919 it was something like sixty five runs of ten plus 0:52:29.080 --> 0:52:30.840 yards and he just explodes out of there when he 0:52:30.920 --> 0:52:33.240 sees that hole and hits it. And you talk about 0:52:33.320 --> 0:52:36.319 him playing some slot back and some quarterback, and also 0:52:36.400 --> 0:52:39.840 the academic requirements there at Navy obviously coming very much first, 0:52:40.040 --> 0:52:41.960 and the schedule these players and these young men have 0:52:42.120 --> 0:52:44.279 to adhere to every single day. How much of a 0:52:44.400 --> 0:52:46.680 challenge is it for a player to really have to 0:52:46.760 --> 0:52:48.600 kind of cross train and be a part of maybe 0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:51.399 both of the meeting rooms at practice, in the film 0:52:51.480 --> 0:52:52.719 room and stuff like that. Is it is it just 0:52:52.800 --> 0:52:54.680 even more on his plate and makes it more impressive 0:52:54.719 --> 0:52:58.359 that way it does, because again, I mean it's it's 0:52:58.880 --> 0:53:00.600 you know we kind of talk to about, you know, 0:53:00.760 --> 0:53:02.600 as a staff, and again I want to see this's 0:53:02.640 --> 0:53:05.880 the right way, um, like preparing for the combine. You know, 0:53:06.000 --> 0:53:07.480 poor Malcolm. You know a lot of those guys have 0:53:07.640 --> 0:53:09.960 to combine. When their season was over, they pretty much 0:53:10.000 --> 0:53:13.200 kind of take a break and they prepare for the combine. 0:53:13.400 --> 0:53:14.680 You know a lot of guys that they go strip 0:53:14.800 --> 0:53:16.680 and trained for that. You know, where malclass is still 0:53:17.080 --> 0:53:19.920 still go to school and still deal with the rigorous academics, 0:53:19.960 --> 0:53:21.799 getting up in the morning, you know, only steed all 0:53:21.920 --> 0:53:25.480 day long, you know. So, but it's always been, you know, 0:53:25.640 --> 0:53:28.200 something that that we always as coaches, we always sit 0:53:28.239 --> 0:53:30.719 back and we're astonished about that our young men can 0:53:30.800 --> 0:53:33.400 do it. You know. They again the acade. They wake 0:53:33.440 --> 0:53:35.879 up every morning and it's it's a full day of academics. 0:53:36.040 --> 0:53:37.880 You know, they can't miss class. You have to go 0:53:37.960 --> 0:53:40.759 to class. Um if you miss class, you know, um, 0:53:41.320 --> 0:53:44.160 everybody knows about it. And you held account before, you know. 0:53:44.320 --> 0:53:46.920 So again, just just with having the academics and just 0:53:47.000 --> 0:53:50.040 the schedule of the riggers of the school, you know, 0:53:50.200 --> 0:53:52.840 and and and and being a Division one football player 0:53:52.920 --> 0:53:55.960 and showing up every single Saturday against talent. That's you know, 0:53:56.040 --> 0:53:58.040 we were never the bigger, stronger Fessor team, you know. 0:53:58.520 --> 0:54:00.200 At the same time, the kids always played har But 0:54:00.640 --> 0:54:02.360 that's just the most impressive part of it, just what 0:54:02.480 --> 0:54:05.000 these young men do. But they go through every single 0:54:05.080 --> 0:54:06.759 weekend or Saturday and they show up and they play 0:54:06.800 --> 0:54:09.120 their tails off and so really there you get it. 0:54:09.160 --> 0:54:12.440 A big thanks to coach Jasper, coach Ingram and coach Niema, 0:54:12.520 --> 0:54:16.160 to Lolo there from Navy and the midshipman football program there. 0:54:16.200 --> 0:54:18.719 They really run a great program, a great ship they're 0:54:19.000 --> 0:54:21.840 pardon my pun, and they produced players like Malcolm Perry, 0:54:21.880 --> 0:54:24.640 a great young man who really know the right way 0:54:24.680 --> 0:54:27.520 to play football, and of course talented football players there 0:54:27.600 --> 0:54:29.480 as well.
