LSU true freshman Harold Perkins Jr. was so dominant against Arkansas this Saturday that an argument can be made that he single-handedly won the game for his team.
Perkins finished this afternoon’s game with eight total tackles, four sacks and two forced fumbles. He made the game-sealing play for the Tigers in the fourth quarter.
Unsurprisingly, Perkins is receiving a lot of praise on social media. And honestly, he deserves every bit of it.
“Oh my goodness,” Brody Miller of The Athletic tweeted. “Harold Perkins strip to win the game, if the call stands. One of the best single game defensive performances I’ve ever seen.”
“LSU survives,” Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated said. “Harold Perkins is a monster.”
ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit tweeted, “Built different man. @HP113k secured victory for @LSUfootball today in Fayetteville!”
The fact that Perkins is a true freshman makes this performance even more surreal than it already is.
Perkins should be a game-changer for LSU’s defense for years to come.
