Jackson State's Two-Way High School Phenom Turned Steady DB Depth
Joe Perkins, a 6'0" redshirt junior DB for Jackson State, brings elite high school pedigree as MAIS 6A Player of the Year with 60 tackles, 8 PBUs, and 11 receiving TDs as a senior, plus U.S. National Team honors—showcasing rare athleticism and ball skills[3]. At FIU, he tallied 26 tackles and a forced fumble in 2021; in 2023 with JSU, he notched 2 tackles in limited action across 3 games[2][3]. His differentiator? Versatile intensity from playing both ways, ideal for teams needing smart, physical depth in the secondary without injury concerns. Care because he's a proven tackler with upside for bigger roles.
