Raleigh (Miss.) four-star linebacker Suntarine Perkins reaffirmed his commitment Sunday to Ole Miss.

“At the point, I want to let the world know I’m (100%) locked in and 1000% going to Ole Miss,” he said in a social media graphic.

The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Perkins originally committed to the Rebels in November of 2021 and was the highest-rated recruit in 2023 Ole Miss recruiting class.

Perkins is the No. 64 overall prospect and No. 3 linebacker in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 1 player in Mississippi.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $151k. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Suntarine Perkins Scouting Summary

“Dynamic two-way playmaker at the high school level with difference-making potential as a linebacker long-term. Size is unverified, but listed around 6-foot-3, 210 pounds. Has a high-cut build and looks to have plus length. Works as a running back and linebacker for his high school, which plays in a smaller classification in Mississippi. An athletic mover on defense with sideline to sideline range. Erases outside plays with his play speed and length. Shows considerable pop as a striker. Drives through ball carriers. Looks to be a natural operating in space, which is aided by his background as a safety.

… Flashes playmaking ability on offense, where he serves as a dominant running back. Rushed for 1,350 yards and 13 touchdowns on 9.4 yards per carry as a junior. Also caught five touchdowns. Out-athletes the competition with the ball in his hands. Uses his easy, natural stride to pull away from defenders in the open field. Looks to have taken a jump as a potential box defender as a junior. Older for the class, turning 18 years-old during his junior season. Has the look of a high-responder once in a college strength and conditioning program, given his frame and growth potential.“
