PROVIDENCE, R.I. – With three games remaining in the Ivy League season, Brown quarterback EJ Perry continues to find himself ranked among the top players in Division I FCS in numerous categories, and also continues to climb up the list of Brown's single-season and career record leaders through his first 17 games at Brown.
Perry helped pilot the Bears to 30.0 points per contest in 2019, and is leading the team to 29.9 points this season, an improvement over the team's 14.3 points per game the year before his arrival in 2018. This season, Brown also ranks 12th nationally in FCS in third down conversion percentage (55-for-111/.460), and ranks 13th nationally on fourth downs (17-for-24/.708).
NATIONAL RANKINGS
Entering this week's game against Yale, Perry ranks second nationally in FCS by averaging exactly 31 completions per game. He is also fifth nationally in total offense (359.7 yards per game), and sixth nationally in passing yards per game (327.1), points responsible for per game (20.0) and completion percentage (.668). He sits eighth in total points responsible for this season with 140.
He also finds himself highly ranked FCS in passing yards (11th/2290) and passing touchdowns (12th/19), both of which are tops in the Ivy League.
As a team, Brown ranks fourth in the nation in completion percentage, seventh in passing offense and 12th in first down offense, all of which lead the Ivy League.

IVY LEAGUE RECORDS
Last Saturday at Penn, Perry moved into a tie for first place in Ivy League history by completing a touchdown pass in 15 consecutive games.
He also is the new Ivy League record holder for most consecutive games with 300+ yards passing, a streak of eight straight games that spanned from Nov. 9, 2019 vs. Yale through Oct. 16, 2021 vs. Princeton.
Perry has six games this season with 300+ yards passing, two shy of tying the league single-season record of eight. For his career, he has topped the 300-yard passing mark 11 times, tied for third-most in league history.
Through the first seven games of this season, he is on pace to break the Ivy League single-season record for pass completions, and very strongly challenge his own league record for total offense, which is set in 2019 with 3,678 yards.
The Ivy League Record Book is available here.
BROWN PROGRAM RECORDS
This past weekend, Perry moved into sole possession of third place on the school's all-time list for touchdown passes and now has 41 total for his career. He also moved into third place for total offense with 6,196 yards for his career, with both former players ranked ahead of him having been three-year starters. He also moved up two spots into sixth place all-time with 468 pass completions, all coming in just 17 career games.
