Miami St. Thomas Aquinas three-star quarterback James Perrone announced on Wednesday evening that he has decommitted from USF.

Pledged to the Bulls since Sept. 8, Perrone initially stuck with the AAC program as it transitioned to a new staff, now led by Brian Hartline. With official visit season approaching, he’s now re-opened his process before his senior season.

“I would like to thank the South Florida coaching staff for recruiting me through the coaching change and for all the support through this process. However, I am no longer committed to USF and my recruitment is 100-percent open,” Perrone wrote announcing his decision on X.

Perrone is the No. 642 overall prospect and No. 43 QB in the 2027 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 69 player in the Sunshine State.

As a junior for Miami Southridge, Perrone completed 193 of 295 passes for 3,231 yards, 33 touchdowns and just five interceptions. The signal-caller also added 636 yards on 58 rushing attempts and added nine more scores. He’ll now play for a Florida juggernaut in STA this fall.
