Gabriel Perri '22 Recruiting Profile

I have been an athlete all my life, at first only by my parents wishes in my early years of playing soccer. Then, after a push to try something new in middle school, I tried out for the 8th Grade Cross Country team and started running everyday. I got myself a team and a new group of friends. I found something that I really enjoyed. Moving into high school I started track in addition to Cross Country, and found yet another sport to love and throughly enjoy. Now, after another push to try something new, I have started rowing, following my parents collegiate footsteps at Clemson. Rowing is a perfect sport that is not just an exercise for me, but a way to escape and fall into a perfect fluid motion and pattern as I pull. I am looking to row in college, where I hope to study Computer Science or Journalism, then pursue a career that allows me to travel the world and have new experiences.
