Little did he know it was actually a surprise. His daughter, U.S. Army Capt. Shalesa Perry, arrived home early.
James and his wife were watching a video message from their daughter on the big screen at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
After the video, the couple turned around, and Capt. Perry walked through the tunnel, much to the surprise of not only the parents, but everyone in attendance.
Before the father could even react, the mother sprinted toward her daughter and gave a huge hug.
The family received a standing ovation, and Capt. Perry even high-fived some fans.
And it all happened on James' birthday.
As for the game, it was Ole Miss' first bowl win since 2020 in the Outback Bowl.
Jaxson Dart passed for 379 yards and three touchdowns, including two to tight end Caden Prieskorn, and ran for a score in the 38-25 victory.
