For much of the spring, we’ve heard about LSU’s commitment to playing [autotag]Harold Perkins[/autotag] at inside linebacker.
Perkins was a Swiss Army knife for LSU in 2022, playing in a hybrid role and often rushing the passer. While he emerged as one of the best defenders in the country, defensive coordinator [autotag]Matt House[/autotag] said Perkins came to LSU to learn inside linebacker.
Perkins has been working as the WILL linebacker in most situations, but at a press conference on Tuesday, outside linebackers coach [autotag]John Jancek[/autotag] said Perkins still slips to the outside on third down and pass rush situations.
“When we go to our third down package, Harold will come over and we’ll talk about line stunts. He’ll come with us and the d-line and the players that are part of our third down package, he’ll work line stunts and pressures and things of that nature,” Jancek told the media.
Jancek re-emphasized that LSU is happy with the work Perkins is doing at WILL linebacker and added that Perkins impresses with everything he does.
“He’s been very consistent. Y’all know Harold. I can’t say enough great things,” Jancek said.
