Perkins learned a new position in spring practice and impressed coaches with his development at center. He played tight end last year and defensive end previously. He is also an option and has experience as a deep snapper. He initially didn't plan to play this fall after the coaching change, but reconsidered and figures to play a significant role in 2009.
2008: Did not see action in any games.
2007: Action in four games (Henderson State, Central Arkansas, at Northeastern, and at Nicholls State).
2006: Saw limited action in three games (at Baylor, at Southeastern La., and vs. McNeese State).
2005: Redshirted.

Much like his big brother Justin, Kevin Perry has the attributes which should make him a productive player at safety, where he will be a backup this fall while fitting into nickel packages. He had a very good spring practice.
