Suntarine Perkins is Ole Miss’ explosive, do-it-all linebacker who can wreck a game off the edge
Perkins stands out as a high-impact SEC defender who pairs burst and coverage ability with real pass-rush production: in 2024 he posted 60 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 14 tackles for loss, and an interception, and Ole Miss notes he also ranked strongly in pressures and coverage efficiency. The appeal is his versatility—he can attack quarterbacks, chase plays sideline-to-sideline, and hold up in space, which makes him a fit for teams wanting a modern hybrid linebacker rather than a run-plugger. His intensity and impact plays are the separator.
