BIOGRAPHY

Dude Perfect established on 16 March 2009  is a Distinguished Texas-based American sports and comedy group of members that are made of five Good looking men, Namely Tyler Toney, Cory Cotton, and Coby Cotton twins, Garrett Hilbert, and Cody Jones; all of them are former Texas A&M University alumni.

Their YouTube channel has a whopping over 58 million subscribers, making it one of the most-subscribed sports channels on YouTube. Despite uploading the videos of stunts and tricks in sports, the group also shares videos of the group members competing against each other in an agreed-on game or contest. The content in most cases has distinct and creative aspects that are set to bring out the creativity the members have in sports. However, one rule in this contest is that the participants must always abide by the set rules.

Personal Life

Tyler openly discloses that he is the husband of Bethany Toney. They have an adorable son known as Nathan Toney. Tyler is one guy who does not shy away from flaunting his cute family. Based on the pictures he posts on his Instagram, he certainly does have a reason to flaunt. His posts reveal he is blessed with a beautiful wife and an adorable son.

Cory Cotton also seems to have the same traits as Tyler. Both of them have certainly gone to their Instagram account to reveal who they are married to and their children. Cory is the husband of Amy Cotton. She is a ravishing beauty, who from the Instagram pictures, is well contoured. Cory is also a father of twins. His twin brother, on the other hand, is married to a beauty called Aubrey Ellett. Both of them seem to be happy in their unions, based on the photos Coby shares on his Instagram account.

Garrett Hilbert married his cute wife Kristin in 2011. This lovely couple is blessed with two sons named Lincoln and Owen Hilbert, and a daughter called Iris Hilbert. The last member of the group, Cody Jones is also married. He married his long-term beauty called Allison Jones. He is also a father to two amazing children called Landry and Lucy Jones.

CAREER

A trick shot video from the Christian summer camp Sky Ranch was released, which, as of January 2013, has over 10.8 million views. For every 100,000 views the video received, Dude Perfect pledged to sponsor a child from Compassion International Afterwards, ESPN’s E:60 contacted the group for a segment, and on the third floor of Texas A&M’s Kyle Field, Toney converted a shot, which traveled 3.9 seconds, which was a world record at the time. The shot prompted television appearances on ESPN’s First Take, Pardon the Interruption, Around the Horn, and Sports Nation. Eventually, Dude Perfect introduced the Panda mascot, who “developed a cult following at A&M basketball games” when taunting players of the opposing team.

Later, the group received professional endorsements and requests, which began with then-Sacramento Kings player Tyreke Evans, in an effort to promote Evans’ run for Rookie of the Year. Dude Perfect also worked with Australian bowler Jason Belmonte, country singer Tim McGraw, and Heisman Trophy winner and Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel at Kyle Field, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, the U. S. Olympic team, NASCAR drivers Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., Travis Pastrana, James Buescher, and IndyCar Series driver James Hinchcliffe at Texas Motor Speedway, and St. Louis Rams players Greg Zuerlein, John Hekker, and Jacob McQuaide, also working with A&M wideout Travis Labhart. Also Zac Efron.

In 2009, the group set the world record for the longest basketball shot after shooting from the third deck of Kyle Field. The record was jeopardized by Legendary Shots, who made a shot from Birmingham, Alabama’s Vulcan statue, but in October 2010, Dude Perfect extended their record with a “cross-tower” shot, which was 216 feet (66 m) high, and the basket was 150 ft (46 m) away from the tower’s base. In March 2011, Dude Perfect unofficially extended the record with a shot from the top of Reliant Stadium, which lasted 5.3 seconds. In January 2014, the group successfully attempted a shot from the 561 ft (171 m)-high Reunion Tower, with Jones and Hilbert holding the basket at the base of the tower.

Despite their success, questions arose over the legitimacy of the group’s tricks; Good Morning America hosted a segment about the tricks and whether they were real, though experts contacted by GMA stated they were unable to find evidence of the tricks being fake. Regarding the doubts, Jones stated, “We love it when people say it’s fake because it makes the shots seem even more ridiculously impossible, and we get more publicity and hits and YouTube so we love the mystery of knowing whether it’s real or fake.” Toney, Coby, and Cory Cotton stated that it takes multiple attempts when filming before successfully converting the final shots.

In 2013, Dude Perfect launched a mobile game for iOS and Android, self-titled Dude Perfect. Additionally, Cory Cotton authored a nationally published book titled Go Big in which he shares the secrets the group has learned along the way in building a business in a world largely influenced by social media.
