Alabama safety Nick Perry is signing with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent.
Perry told The Baltimore Sun he's extremely excited to join the Ravens. He had private workouts for the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts prior to the NFL draft.
He is a 6-foot-1, 211-pound defensive back from Prattville, Ala., who played safety, nickelback and a hybrid linebacker position for the Crimson Tide.
After playing behind Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Vinny Sunseri and Mark Barron earlier in his career, Perry emerged as a key player for Alabama last season. He made 80 tackles, fourth overall on the nation's sixth-ranked defense. He also intercepted two passes.
Perry ran the 40-yard dash in 4.58 seconds at his campus Pro Day workout and performed well in positional drills. He also had a 33-inch vertical leap and a 9-11 broad jump.
Perry had a medical redshirt as a junior year when he had partially torn labrum and underwent surgery. He played last season as a fifth-year senior, taking graduate courses toward a master's degree.
Perry entered last season with 41 career tackles, two for losses, a sack and four pass breakups.
Prior to the medical redshirt year, Perry played in every game in 2012, including four starts, and made 38 tackles, had a fumble recovery, broke up two passes and had a sack.
A four-star recruit and a SuperPrep All-American, Perry chose Alabama over Auburn, LSU, Vanderbilt, Stanford and Southern Mississippi. He had six interceptions as a senior.
The Ravens are also signing Michigan defensive end-outside linebacker Brennen Beyer, according to NFL sources. The deal includes a $6,000 signing bonus. Beyer was highly recommended by veteran Michigan defensive coach Greg Mattison, who's a former Ravens defensive coordinator.
The Ravens also agreed to a free agent deal with Sacramento State wide receiver DeAndre Carter, according to a source. The Ravens met with Carter at the NFL Players Association Collegiate Bowl, according to a league source.
At his Pro Day workout, Carter ran a 4.43 in the 40-yard dash and had an impressive 3.80 short shuttle. His short shuttle is the fastest wide receiver time, and his 6.64 three-cone drill ranked second.
Carter led all Football Championship Subdivision schools with 99 catches for 1,321 yards and a school-record 17 touchdowns.
Carter was a first-team All-American last season and was a first-team All-Big Sky Conference selection.
The 5-foot-8 1/2, 192-pounder also had a 38 1/2 inch vertical leap, a 10-6 broad jump and bench pressed 225 pounds 16 times. He caught 64 passes for 934 yards and 14 touchdowns as a junior. He finished his career with 207 receptions for 2,760 yards and 35 touchdowns.
The Ravens also agreed to a free agent deal with Alabama linebacker Trey DePriest and LSU running back Terrence Magee, according to a source.
Magee chose the Ravens over the Atlanta Falcons and several other teams and received a $3,000 signing bonus. He rushed for 1,330 career rushing yards and a dozen touchdowns.
The 5-foot-9, 217-pound back ran the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds and had a 37-inch vertical leap. He bench pressed 225 pounds 22 times. Magee rushed for 571 yards and three touchdowns as a senior.
Colorado State-Pueblo outside linebacker-defensive end Darius Allen also agreed to a free agent deal with the Ravens, according to a source.
