Harold Perkins is going to play inside linebacker again.

In an interview with @theadvocatebr today, Brian Kelly explained the plan for the LSU star.

"He needs to be more involved in the linebacker fits inside... It's going to make us a better defense.”


Hope it works out this time.

The correct statement is "Blake Baker is keeping Harold Perkins at ILB".

Kid is going to be a safety in the NFL, might as well let him rove around full time.

I am sure that Orgeron would handle this much better than Kelly, right?

“He needs to be in the action,” Kelly said in an interview Monday. “He needs to be the (weakside) linebacker. He needs to be in the box. He needs to be active in there. That's where he's going to start, and we've got to get him ready at that position.”

We want to get him in a position where he can impact the defense, where he will play at the next level. I think we owe it to him."

Kelly said where Perkins landed last year will be called the Star in new defensive coordinator Blake Baker’s scheme. It usually gets played by defensive backs and replaces the strongside linebacker in certain packages. Similar to a nickel corner, the Star often has to cover slot receivers.

“He could cover a little bit,” Kelly said. “You don't want him playing the slot man-to-man, but he could get out there and cover. He could blitz off the edge. In Blake's defense, that's what the Star does. But that's not really where we want Harold to be.”

Baker's track record suggests he may be able to unlock Perkins' potential. Former LSU linebacker Damone Clark credited Baker with turning him into the nation's second-leading tackler in 2021.
