Zach Perkins brings proven starting experience and elite classroom discipline to Alabama State’s offensive line
Perkins is a senior offensive lineman who started 10 of 11 games for Hampton in 2024, helping the Pirates rank second in the CAA in rushing at 195.8 yards per game, and he arrives at Alabama State with experience from Maryland and South Florida as well. His biggest differentiators are durability, versatility, and résumé depth: multiple FBS stops, a full-time starting role, and repeated academic recognition, including a 4.00 GPA honor roll mention. For a team needing a steady, mature interior presence, he looks like a high-floor fit rather than a flashy one.
