Suntarine Perkins

But outside of a tremendous freshman season, freshman slash sophomore season back in 24, He's been a little iffy, and part of it was an injury last year, and now coming into this year, we expected him to be better, and he hasn't really made that kind of impact that we wanted to see.

My question with that, is Santorini playing the right position? And the reason I ask that question is when you look at it, They're trying to move Santorini more towards the edge, and they want him to be an edge rusher.

Santorini's natural position is at linebacker.

He has the speed at the edge that at times he can get by his tackle and make a play.

At times, if they're going to break a run off to the perimeter, he can get off, he can shed the block and make the play.

In college, it's working out reasonably okay.

At the next level, I think he strikes you more as a linebacker.

So honestly, I think they just have Santorini out of position.

He was able to answer that.

Uh, Suntarine Perkins, who's the exact opposite, 6'1", 220 pounds, bendy, shifty, explosive, speed off the edge.

He was able to handle him.

He had one rep that I tweeted out and I said, "This is what an NFL left tackle looks like," 'cause he faked inside, he countered that, then went to the outside and he was able to just flip his hips and run.

They were both, like, five-star recruits and are studs.

Uh, I can't believe Suntarine Perkins still plays for Ole Miss, 'cause this is his fourth year.

He's been causing havoc off the edge since 2023.

Uh, linebacking corps is good.

Go ahead.

All right.

Uh, Suntarine Perkins is a four-year starter.

I can't believe he still plays for Ole Miss.

He, he had a bunch of production at Nevada.

Um, now they're behind Kam Franklin, Jamarious Brown, Will Eccles, and Suntarine Perkins, who are, you know, that's a high-end SEC defensive line.

But I think, like, when you look at how P- how, how is Pete Golding's spin gonna show up in this program, they went out and spent a ton of money on backup defensive linemen 'cause he knows that's how Nick Saban won all those years, right? He had superior defensive line depth.

So I do think there is, there, there's some method behind sort of the Oshkosh Del- Delta State stuff that we, uh, that we see.

Keep their eyes on the backfield.

They're gonna spy him with Suntarine Perkins.

That's what they did with Milroe earlier on, um, whenever Ole Miss played Alabama.

I, I- I, I think they're going to try and be extremely disciplined, not necessarily worried about sacking the quarterback, just keeping him from being able to run the ball and making him throw the ball into tight windows.

I like Echols on, on the inside.

Um, Suntarine Perkins, another guy off the edge.

They've combined for 10 of the 21 pressures for Ole Miss so far.

The offensive line, though, for L- LSU, like I, I think that's where, if you're gonna ask me what's the weakness on this team, I, I do think that's it.

Ole Miss, they has, they have legit talent as well.

I mean, Suntarine Perkins, he's unbelievable.

33 and a half career tackles for loss, and this is a group that can win in the backfield as well as anyone in the entire league.

They're deeper along the defensive front.

Trinidad's gonna have to be exceptional.

I, I, like I said before, I think this is a big Farrelli, Thomas, Suntarine Perkins game.

I, I think those three guys are gonna be tested a, a, a lot.

Uh, keeping Leavitt at bay.
