It came as no surprise when Perkins was named MaxPreps Mississippi Player of the Year. Perkins helped lead his Raleigh High School team to its first-ever state championship last month.
Perkins, who played both sides of the ball for Raleigh, finished his senior year with 92 tackles, five sacks and four interceptions to go with 2,081 yards rushing and 32 touchdowns.

While many expect the four-star Perkins to soon reach five-star level, it really makes little difference because the talented Rebel will make an immediate impact, regardless.
Can do it all! Might have to steal you from the defense to play a little Runningback 😂 Thanks for staying home @suntarine pic.twitter.com/CBSHYmr78O
