Harold Perkins, Linebacker
LSU will return one of their top-two leading tacklers at the position with Damone Clark moving on to the NFL. Micah Baskerville opted to return for one more run. The staff was able to get a massive addition with five-star linebacker Harold Perkins. On3 has him rated as the No. 4 overall prospect in the entire class. He should be in line for some early playing time, if not starting next to Baskerville.
The Competition:
- Mike Jones Jr, Redshirt Senior
- DeMario Tolan, Freshman
- Greg Penn III, Sophomore
- Kolbe Fields, Redshirt Freshman
It feels like a foregone conclusion that Micah Baskerville will hold down one of the linebacker spots leaving the other up for grabs. Matt House returns to the SEC after a stint in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs. He will have a pair of five-star linebackers at his disposal with Perkins and Jones, plus a four-star signee in DeMario Tolan to use in rotation until they find their duo.
