Red River Rivalry: Five-star linebacker to choose between a visit at OU or Texas

Five-star linebacker to choose between a visit to Oklahoma or Texas this summer.

With the NCAA’s dead period being lifted in the month of June, there have been plenty of announcements for recruiting visits. The Oklahoma Sooners are gearing up for their annual ‘ChampU’ event where they will host plenty of top prospects from around the country.

One of the top players in the country is setting up his visits for the summer with the Oklahoma Sooners in the mix. The only issue being the date set will be on June 18th and he is choosing between the Sooners or their biggest rivals for that date, the Texas Longhorns.

Perkins is the No. 1 outside linebacker in the country and No. 12 overall prospect according to 247Sports composite rankings.

The Cy Park linebacker has set up visits to the Florida Gators, Southern California Trojans, and to the Texas A&M Aggies. Everything seems to be trending the way of the Aggies but don’t count out the Sooners who have seen their defense become one of the better units in all of college football.

Perkins would be a great addition to the Sooners top-five class so far in the process. They also have Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy of Lakeland, Florida, in the fold. The five-star defensive tackle has been trending to Norman for quite a while. The Sooners could complete the trio of top defenders if they also land five-star defensive end Omari Abor of Duncanville.
