Trent Perry, a four-star small forward in the 2026 class, is ready to announce his college decision.  The 6-foot-4 senior of Link Academy (MO) will make his college commitment on Wednesday, October 1st between Maryland, Kansas, and TCU.

The native of Frisco, Texas has completed official visits to each of his finalists.

Perry is ranked as the No. 102 overall player in the class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking. He’s also the No. 36 small forward nationally.

According to On3’s Jamie Shaw, Trent Perry was one of the eye catchers at the Top-100 Camp this summer:

Trent Perry plays with a non-stop motor. He is consistently diving in the floor or doing his best to create extra possessions for his team. Most of his offense is through lobs or in transition. He is going to need to develop the creation and jump shot, but he has a clear affect on the games he plays.

Perry talks his game + what he’s looking for in a school

In a previous interview with Rivals, Trent Perry discussed his game. 

”I like to get to the rim and have my defense translate into offense,” Perry told Rivals. “Really, do whatever my team needs for me to win that game, that’s what I do. Practicing against the best players in the country here at Link and then playing this national schedule, my whole game has improved. My IQ, my skill, my playmaking, everything has improved with my game, I’d say.”

Perry knows what he wants in a future college program. 

“I want to go to a school where they have a good coaching staff, one that I trust and that will develop me. Also, a coaching staff that is like family. I’ll look at the playstyle some, I want to go to a school that plays the way I do. A school that plays defense, getting rebounds, and getting out and running.”
