A former five-star prospect out of high school, Perkins had a solid freshman season for the Rebels and looks to play an even bigger role in their push for a College Football Playoff berth in 2024. Primarily filling an edge-rusher role, he put up 38 tackles and 3.5 sacks last season, and two of those sacks came on the road against the Alabama Crimson Tide in the early portions of the season.

Perkins was rated the No. 1 prospect in the state of Mississippi in the 2023 class by multiple outlets and was the No. 2 prep linebacker nationally, according to 247Sports.
