James Perkins is a Navy depth piece with size and special-teams upside
James Perkins has been a developmental linebacker/edge piece for Navy rather than a proven stat-stuffer: Navy’s roster notes say he had not seen varsity action through the 2023 season and did not play in 2024, while recruiting listings place him around 6-foot-2 to 6-foot-3 and roughly 210-239 pounds, suggesting a frame built for physical work on the edge. The appeal is projection—he brings length, Navy toughness, and special-teams/role-player potential, but he is still more mystery box than finished product.
