2025 Class 6A Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Kelvin Perkins III: Elite Dual-Threat QB Committed to Austin Peay
Kelvin Perkins III, the 2025 Class 6A Tennessee Titans Mr. Football from Southwind High (Memphis, TN), is a 6'0", 180-lb dual-threat quarterback ranked No. 12 on The Commercial Appeal's 2025 Dandy Dozen and #77 nationally by On3/Rivals for the 2026 class. Known as potentially the best dual-threat QB in his class, Perkins combines elite athleticism with high-intensity playmaking, earning him a three-star recruit designation before committing to Austin Peay on July 4, 2025. His differentiator is his rare ability to dominate as both a passer and runner, a trait that made him a sophomore standout and Mr. Football winner. With no reported injury history and a reputation for intensity, he's a high-upside fit for Austin Peay's offensive system, offering immediate impact potential as a game-changer who elevates any team's scoring ceiling.
