Ronnie Perkins

Ronnie Perkins went to Lutheran High School North in St. Louis. As a senior he was the St. Louis Post-Dispatch All-Metro defensive player of the year, and he played in the 2018 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. At Oklahoma he started seven games as a true freshman, with 37 tackles and five sacks. He added 38 tackles and six sacks in 2019, but a failed drug test kept him out of the 2019 Peach Bowl and the first five games of 2020. He was second-team All-Big 12 in 2019 and 2020. New England drafted him in the third round, 96th overall, in 2021, but he never appeared in a game as a rookie. Since then he has moved through Denver, Arizona, Atlanta and two stints with the UFL's Birmingham Stallions, and his infobox shows seven NFL games and 13 tackles. He has no current team listed. The Oklahoma Daily wrote on October 25, 2018: "Ronnie was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, to Ronald and Nakeisha Perkins. He's the youngest of five brothers and sisters, Ronald, Ronnell -- a junior safety at the University of Missouri -- Roneisha, Ronna and Ronera."
