A cornerstone to Urban Meyer's first four seasons in Columbus, Joshua Perry is a future NFL Draft pick. Over the next few weeks, the Ohio State linebacker will join Eleven Warriors to share his thoughts on the process of turning pro.

Buckeye Nation,

Before I continue, I want thank you for a great four years. In that time I enjoyed a ton of on-field success, including 50 wins, a conference title and the first College Football Playoff National Championship. The same goes with off the field, having many chances to support the community locally in Columbus and abroad in Costa Rica, plus the opportunity to speak at Big Ten Media Days about what it truly means to be a student-athlete and much more. To cap it all off, I earned my bachelor’s degree and ended my career with a win against another historic program in Notre Dame.

That’s where the journey picks up. After the last game, I signed with Element Sports Group and a few days later, headed to Gulf Breeze, Florida, to start my preparation for the first step in the NFL Draft process, the NFL Combine. Before I left, I told myself that I wanted to really take this time to sharpen my skills as a football player, but also learn about myself in the process. Looking back now, as I get ready to ship out for my workouts in Indianapolis, I realize I have done just that.

When I arrived, I didn’t really know how things were going to go. There were guys here from all over, big schools and small schools alike, all with the same end goal in mind. As I got into the program, I realized what the key was going to be — compete!
