LSU Star Linebacker Harold Perkins Is Switching Jersey Numbers

By Staff Reporter•Mar 8, 20238:25 pm•

Jake Crandall / Advertiser / USA TODAY NETWORK

LSU star linebacker Harold Perkins is making a number change as he enters his second season with the Tigers.

Instead of wearing No. 40 as he did during his breakout freshman season, Perkins will be No. 4, the number he wore in high school.

He will share the number with running back John Emery Jr., who wears the No. 4 on offense.

Harold Perkins is switching…. Jersey numbers

FLObserver•40 months

Same lol. These days it seems anytime star players names show up in a headline its not good. My heart sank as well. Glad it was just a number switch.

shedding unnecessary baggage - lol

But dropping the zero doesn’t affect the weight of the jersey since zero has no value.

He compressed that forty down to four, the opposing offense better hang the f*ck on. Cause he's coming — fast and often.

4 is the new 7

'Cuda Perkins!

PureBlood•40 months

May he send the number into retirement when he leaves. He's already set the bar pretty damn high... and he's just getting started

Harold Perkins doesn’t change jersey numbers, the numbers just fall off.

TeddyPadillac•40 months

well that sucks. I'd like to see him run the ball just for fun.

Perkins was a monster this past year and I hope he can do the same this year. However, why is a simple number change “newsworthy”?

Pvt Hudson•40 months

Will claim the gif of #40 getting chucked to the ground by Achane “wasn’t him”.

Wait emery has another year of eligibility? I thought he was gone

I feel like its bad juju to switch. Dude had a monster year rockin #40. I would not change at this point. Just my own personal opinion. I always hated switching jersey numbers. Start carving out a Legacy rocking a certain number it would be hard for me to change I guess. As long as you continue to ball Kid
