Perkins drew rave reactions on CFB Twitter.
LSU LB Harold Perkins just showed a super-human burst against Arkansas to strip Malik Hornsby. He’s one of the breakout stars of 2022. Appropriate gushing by @JoeTessESPN, @Katie_George05 and @GregMcElroy. He’ll be one of the faces of the sport the next year.

Perkins is living up to the hype as a former 5-star prospect, showing why it was a huge recruiting win for Brian Kelly on National Signing Day.
The turnover led to LSU tying things up 3-3. Perkins has certainly shown up. We’ll see if either offense gets going.
The game is airing on ESPN.
