Scout Report
The commitment to Kansas adds another elite piece to the Jayhawks' recruiting puzzle, as they land a versatile wing who brings both talent and championship experience from one of prep basketball's premier programs.
Background
Hailing from Frisco, Texas, Trent Perry made the move to Link Academy, where he's been immersed in a championship-level culture alongside some of the nation's top prospects. The 6-5 small forward has developed his game while playing with elite teammates including five-star center Ethan Taylor and highly-ranked wing Tajh Ariza. His time at Link Academy has provided him with exposure to top-tier competition and coaching that has elevated his recruitment to the high-major level.
Playing Style
Perry brings a well-rounded skill set that makes him an intriguing prospect at the small forward position. His 6-5 frame gives him good size to play multiple positions, and he's shown the ability to impact games in various ways without needing to be the primary option. He demonstrates solid fundamentals and basketball IQ, making smart decisions with the ball and finding ways to contribute even when his shot isn't falling. While playing alongside higher-ranked teammates, Perry has shown he can excel in a complementary role, which should translate well to the college level where he'll need to carve out his niche early on.
Recruitment
Perry's commitment to Kansas came after accumulating 10 Division I offers from quality programs including Maryland, TCU, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M. His ranking of #93 nationally in the 2026 class positions him as a solid four-star prospect with room for continued development. The Jayhawks are getting a player who should fit well into their system and has the potential to develop into a key contributor over his college career.
