My List of Top 10 Linebackers in 2025 Draft [OP updated]
If he’s smart he will come back for another year. The only good thing about NIL, is players can stay for an extra season to refine their game instead of leaving early to cash in. Perkins can probably make more through NIL coming back for his senior season than he will on a rookie NFL contract cause he’s not slated to be a 1st round pick.
Perkins is still very raw as a true LB. He may do well as a 3-4 OLB rushing off the edge. If he wants to raise his draft stock he will need another season and to show he’s recovered from his injury.
