Perkins bulked up this offseason after adding significant size, ready to piece it all together during his junior campaign.
LSU linebacker Harold Perkins will have all eyes on him in 2024 while he gears up for year three in Baton Rouge, but the gifted defensive weapon has taken strides this offseason to develop his game.
Perkins addressed the media on Monday at SEC Media Days where he expressed his excitement for the 2024 season.Your coach said you'd be playing between the tackles and using other positions based on the situation. How do you feel about this role? HAROLD PERKINS: I think that's a magnificent idea to come to the sideline and see yourself making the play or just the mistake, because why wait until tomorrow to see what I messed up on when I can go to the sideline and fix the mistake or the problem right then and there instead of waiting. So I think that'll be a great addition to the game to all college athletes.
HAROLD PERKINS: To answer your question, no, I never had a coach come out and wear cleats and show me how it's done, quote/unquote. But great guy. Great guy. He's a leader. He just wants the best for his players and his team. He knows how to have fun, but when it's time to work, no jokes, it's time to work.
HAROLD PERKINS: The transition has been wonderful. Like I said previously, I trust the coaches to put me in the right position to be successful. The rest is on me. I trust in my abilities and my quality that God has blessed me with to go out and make a play. So I'm excited to where this year is going to go.
