Reggie Perry helped lead some of the best defenses at Concord during the 1980s as the Mountain Lions made the NAIA National Playoffs in 1981 and 1984 with Perry on the roster. Perry was tabbed to the All-WVIAC First Team in 1983 and 1984. At the conclusion of the 1984 campaign, Perry was voted to the NAIA Honorable Mention All-American Team, the ninth player in program history to earn the distinction. During the Mountain Lions' 9-2 season in 1981, Perry and Concord defense pitched three regular season shutouts and allowed just 9.1 points per game in 10 regular-season games before falling to Elon in the postseason. In 1984, Perry was on a defense that led the Maroon and Gray to an 8-3 record before facing Carson-Newman in the playoffs.
