Live Updates: Harold Perkins Commitment Ceremony

Cypress (Texas) Cy Park linebacker Harold Perkins is the top uncommitted linebacker in the country. After a winding recruitment and recent commitment — and decommitment from Texas A&M — the five-star is ready to make his decision.

Perkins is largely down to three schools (Texas A&M, Florida and LSU), and he will announce his commitment to one of them this afternoon.

As it stands at 2:55 p.m. ET, LSU is the predicted landing spot for Perkins, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

On3 Senior National Recruiting Analyst Gerry Hamilton will be on hand at Perkins’ announcement ceremony, and he will provide updates as the clock ticks down toward the scheduled 4:30 p.m. ET decision time.

4:29 p.m. ET: Harold Perkins chooses LSU over Texas A&M and Florida. “Everywhere Coach Kelly went, he’s turned around the program,” Perkins said.

4:27 p.m. ET: We’re about five minutes away from Perkins’ announcement. Lots of family and friends behind him.

4:21 p.m. ET: About 30 friends, family members, high school coaches and media are at Harold Perkins house for his announcement. Announcement in about 15 minutes. Florida, LSU and Texas A&M hats on the table.

4:17 p.m. ET: According to On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons, “Texas A&M sources indicated confidence was not high on the Aggies being able to land Harold Perkins today.”

4:11 p.m. ET: The live broadcast is almost set up at Perkins house. About 30 minutes from the On3 Consensus five-star announcing. — Gerry Hamilton

3:00 p.m. ET: Perkins is rocking gear from each of his three finalists: Texas A&M, Florida and LSU.
