You're not.
He's 100% a safety and anyone that says otherwise doesn't understand football.

That would include me and all of the LSU coaches.
Perkins is a great talent who should be used in various positions. You should build your defense around him - hiding him from the offense so they can’t key on him. Sometimes the QB is keying on the safety and you could blitz that safety and have Perkins roll back into that safety position thus foiling the read. There are myriad things you can do with Perkins to fool the offense, switch packages without having to change personnel, and get Perkins hawking the ball.

In House's scheme I would say that is probably the best description of his role. In Aranda's system, he would've likely been playing the Patrick Queen role. I'm not versed enough to know what Aranda termed that position, but to me it would be described as your "best cover linebacker". In an unrelated note, I could've seen Aranda moving Jacoby Stevens to that role in 2020 had he stayed.
