Southern’s Wynton Perro is back where he started

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  -- After trying his hand at safety and linebacker the past two seasons, Southern junior Wynton Perro has finally found his way back into the offensive backfield.

Perro entered fall camp Thursday as a candidate to back up star signal-caller Dray Joseph, returning to the position he played throughout high school at Houston’s Booker T. Washington. All the way back to the position he always thought he’d play in college.

“I love playing quarterback,” he said. “This is my first love since I was little, so it’s a great feeling being back at this position and being in a position where I can help the team if called upon.”

Perro arrived at Southern with Joseph in 2010 and spent his first year on campus as a redshirt. Then J.P. Douglas signed with the Jaguars, creating a bit of a logjam of underclassmen at the position.
