Harold Perkins led the team in tackles tonight with 8, 3 of them solo..

Yes both did not play.

It's so painfully obvious how gifted Perkins is when he's out there.

Looks like they gave Savion Jones the sack on the play that he and perk made but that should have been 0.5 for each imo

Perkins in very quick to the ball. And he puts the lick when he gets there.

Perkins keeps looking better and better.

Absolutely. He has a nose for the ball and knifes through traffic to make a hit. Early in the 3d qtr, on a 3d and 2, NM ran up the middle. RB ran into Wingo and Roy up top, but when you look at the play from the rear there is Perkins off the edge with the RB wrapped up down low and NOT going anywhere.

He has a nose for the ball, and is only going to get better. Props to CBK for getting him to LSU and the staff for leveraging his skill sets. His best FB is still yet to come. GT!

So, Perkins is our next great LB?

There's not even a question mark for me. Even on plays he didn't get the tackle, he was right there. It's unbelievable how good that guy is.

If Perkins and Baskerville start against FSU we win that game. LB was easily our worst performing position on defense that game and they didn’t even play (Perkins played only a few snaps I think). They make that much of a difference.

Perkins is another Devin White. Incredible speed and also played running back in high school. You can see he has major wheels and hits people with force. And he’s only a freshman!

Yes

This is the kid that everyone on the recruiting board said “do not want” after his interviews. They trashed him because he was looking for NIL deals. This should go to show you they are teenagers getting recruited by millionaire coaches, with fanbases obsessing over them, be careful what you say. Look at him now, he will probably be the recruit you look at as Brian Kelly’s building block player from his first recruiting class.
