UTSA linebacker Donovan Perkins brings downhill, high-motor run support
Donovan Perkins profiles as a compact, physical inside linebacker whose calling card is production in traffic: as a senior at Zachary High, he posted 103 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and five sacks, earning first-team all-district honors[2]. At 5-foot-11.5 and 225 pounds, he fits best as an aggressive run defender and tone-setter who can diagnose quickly and attack downhill[1]. UTSA fans and coaches should care because that blend of tackling volume, backfield disruption and competitive edge suggests a player who can add toughness and reliability to a defense, especially in schemes that value instinct and leverage over pure size[1][2].
