Is the national media neglecting N'Kosi Perry and FAU?

Former Oklahoma TE Grant Calcaterra, who is going to SMU.
Former Houston Baptist (FCS) QB Bailey Zappe who transferred to WKU.
Former Washington WR Puka Nacua, who transferred to BYU.
Ex-Arkansas State LB Justin Rice, who followed Blake Anderson to Utah State.
I'm not picking on The Athletic here, but I do find it interesting that they listed eight quarterbacks out of 50 players yet N'Kosi Perry (a former starter at UM, which remains a media darling) isn't one of them. ESPN picked up the Hines Ward story (as they should have) but never posted online about Perry, which also doesn't make sense considering the UM angle. In fact, I didn't really even see anything from the AP on Perry transferring here. Yahoo! picked up Khobi's story from the Sentinel as a wire story.
Is this something or nothing?

Also, he’s not a high profile transfer. He never put up particularly good numbers and like a lot of QB’s isn’t exactly Tom Brady after the first read. He’s a one read good accuracy QB with maybe time for a 2nd read. He can’t run which is a drawback. He’s got a better arm than anyone on the team but can’t really run.

I just think that in the media’s defense Perry isn’t that well known outside of South Florida. He didn’t start many games and obviously barely played in 2020.

Dont know much about him. Cant run…injuries? Or lack of athletic ability?
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

I don’t fully disagree JGF, but the media has such a love for Miami/FSU that you’d think it’d have gotten more traction. 🤷🏻♂️

Completion % improved each year as well (51, 53, 55) and yds. per attempt as well (5.7, 6.6, 7.4).
All solid signs of an improving and learning QB.

Perry seems like he could run I’ll say that. He chooses to stay in the pocket but he could maybe be taught how to be more mobile by Taggart and Johnson.
It’s a great pickup. I feel kind of the same way about Robison coming into 2019. It’s going to be the pass catchers that’s the story not Perry. He’s good enough and I’m sure will be the QB at UF. But like I said, I don’t know everything. But when I do know something I’ll say it. With Perry I’m not sure how good he is. He really didn’t play that much at a school to the south
