Ole Miss commit Suntarine Perkins rushes for 337 yards, 4 TDs in title win

Ole Miss commit Suntarine Perkins went berserk in the record-setting championship game, recording nearly 400 total yards, scoring touchdowns and picking off a pass.

In a record-setting championship game that featured 107 total points, Ole Miss commit Suntarine Perkins shined brightest.

The four-star linebacker/running back recorded 378 total yards, four touchdowns, and had an interception to lead Raleigh (Miss.) High School to a 55-52 win over Noxubee County (Macon, Miss.) on Friday.

In the Lions offense’s first play from scrimmage, Perkins rushed the ball up the middle for a 74-yard touchdown and then kicked the PAT, according to ScorebookLive. With the official tally unreleased, ScorebookLive recorded 331 rushing yards on 32 carries for Perkins, while 0n3’s Sam Spiegelman reported he had 337 rushing yards and four two-point conversions.

The difference between 337 and 331 is rather small, proportionally, but in a three-point victory, every single yard counted. Perkins tallied up all that he could.

Raleigh finished its season 14-1 and won its first state championship. The Lions scored at least 40 points in 11 games and allowed more than 30 in only two contests.

The team hasn’t updated its stats page on MaxPreps, but through the first 14 games of the season, the site has recorded Perkins as rushing for 1,744 yards and 28 touchdowns. With his monstrous championship performance, he easily surpassed the 2,000-yard mark and eclipsed 30 touchdowns on the ground.

Coming into the title game, Perkins had recorded 86 tackles, 5.0 sacks, three interceptions and four fumble recoveries.

The 247Sports Composite has Perkins ranked as the third-best linebacker in the class of 2023 and the No. 58 player overall in the class.

Good morning, Tide fans! Welcome back to our Thursday edition of Alabama Morning Drive. I hope everyone has had a good week as we are one step closer to the weekend.

Let’s take a look at a few other stories involving the Crimson Tide.

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.
