Came to Florida via transfer from Missouri after starting his collegiate career at Mississippi Gulf Coast CC. In his first year, Perkins provided critical depth at a position that opened the year with a season-ending injury and endured the dismissal of another player mid-season. He was able to compile 25 tackles, 2 pass breakups, and a QB hurry. With the opportunity to now learn from the best CB coach in the country, Corey Raymond, one can expect significant strides in the coming seasons. Described his first time running out in the Swamp as he made it, like being in the NCAA video games.
