So what do you get for the youngster who seemingly has everything?

With LSU freshman Harold Perkins, Jr., these SEC defensive player of the week honors are becoming as routine and blasé as socks in the Christmas stocking.

He won it again Monday, of course, in the wake of his monster game against Arkansas, making it two straight weeks for that honor. And it was something of a three-peat since the previous game he had been named the SEC freshman of the week.

So somebody had to up the ante after his Saturday demolition job of the Razorbacks which clinched the SEC West title for the Tigers.

No problem. Perkins was also named the Walter Camp national defensive player of the week after becoming only the fourth FBS player this century to record four sacks and force two fumbles in the same game.

“Not that that gets anybody surprised,” LSU head coach Brian Kelly said. “He was all over the field.”

Perkins also tied the LSU single-game record with his four sacks.

But, as LSU turned its attention to non-conference opponent UAB in the Tigers final home game this week, Kelly did try to clear up one misconception: Perkins, he said, was hardly alone on a defense that held the Arkansas offense to barely half its usual offensive output, 249 yards to the usual 485.

Perkins was just the biggest beneficiary.

Kelly specifically mentioned edge rushers Ali Gaye and BJ Ojulari and noted that “ Jaqueline Roy probably had his best game of the year” at defensive tackle.

“There’s a lot of guys that go into this. (Linebacker) Micah Baskerville, I could go on and on. (Cornerback) Seven Banks (in his first game back from injury) played with speed and agility. (Defensive tackle) Mekhi Wingo, we’ve talked about him all year.

“It was easily (linebacker) Greg Penn’s best game and that’s what we expected. We challenged him because as you know, (freshman) DeMario Tolan is on his heels, right? He’s coming on. He’s doing some really good things and Greg can feel that and I love the way he responded to that challenge. He played with physicality. He played with great instincts.

“I could go on and on.”

They all combined to introduce Perkins to a national audience, least ways any that didn’t catch his act the previous week against Alabama.

“They make a lot of that happen because they flush that quarterback out and then you got a guy like (Perkins) that can just chase them down,” Kelly said. “It’s pretty impressive that the marriage, if you will, between where you have a group that can get a quarterback outside the pocket and then go chase him down.”

It already has Kelly thinking ahead with Perkins, who often has been used to “spy” on mobile quarterbacks. Kelly wouldn’t be surprised to see opponents turn the tables.

“It’s gotten us thinking about do you spy Harold now? Like, do (offenses) put a spy on Harold because, like, you have somebody from the running back position to try to shadow him? So we’re preparing for all of these eventualities as we kind of move forward.”
