Ole Miss commit Suntarine Perkins enjoys visit to Tuscaloosa

Four-star Ole Miss commit enjoys his visit to Tuscaloosa

Back in January, four-star athlete from the class of 2023 Suntarine Perkins received his official offer from Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Perkins has been committed to his home state Ole Miss Rebels since November but has been taking advantage of trips to other programs.

The talented athlete is fresh off a visit to Tuscaloosa this weekend and from all indications, he really enjoyed his trip.

 

Cooper Petagna of 247Sports has this to say about Perkins as a prospect.

Unverified at 6-foot-3 and 200-pounds, appears to possess an athletic frame with growth potential to add additional weight to his frame. Displays good athleticism in multiple phases of the game with the majority of his snaps coming at the running back position. A downhill inside runner that plays in a triple option offense, Perkins has the ability to project to both a power or zone scheme at the next level.

Flashes above average patience and vision at the line of scrimmage, showing the ability to hit the hole quickly. Displays good short area explosiveness and change of direction ability, flashing some make you miss ability in the open field. Excels on contact, exhibiting excellent play strength and power at the point of attack. Lacks verified times, but appears to possess good play speed and long speed to outrun defenders in the open field.

Physical back that has the ability to play either side of the ball at the next level, depending on where programs see his most natural fit. More than likely projects to an off-ball weak side backer role at the next level on the defensive side of the ball. High upside athlete that can potentially provide value on either side of the ball and on multiple special teams units. Projects as a high level multi-year starter at a Power Five program.”

Crimson Tide defensive coordinator Pete Golding is the primary recruiter for Perkins which leads most to believe that Alabama is projected Perkins to play on the defensive side of the ball in college.

We’ll have to wait and see if Alabama’s efforts will be rewarded with a flip from Perkins.
