Ohio State is showing interest.

David Perkins is a transfer from Kalamazoo Central who boasts a 36.5 vertical jump. 10.1 broad, 16 reps of 185-lbs on the bench and a 4.15 shuttle.
He finished his junior season with 783 yards on 85 carries, ten receptions for 180 yards (six total TDs) and 63 tackles, 13 sacks and 21 tackles for loss. Perkins says he can bench 325-pounds, squat 450 and claims a 39-inch vertical jump.

Those are some pretty impressive measurables. Any tape on this young man? Those are really good defensive numbers too.. does he project more to offense or defense more at this point?

I like Perkins as a fast OLB, like Shazier. Or even a big safety or star.
