Perkins Honored with Chucky Mullins Courage Award | Ole Miss Rebels Football News

Ole Miss linebacker Suntarine Perkins has been named the 36th recipient of the Chucky Mullins Courage Award, honoring his grit, leadership, and relentless drive on and off the field. A five-star recruit who chose to stay home for the Rebels, Perkins has emerged as a defensive force in his third season, setting career highs in tackles, pass breakups, and forced fumbles as a junior. Beyond stats, he’s stepping up as a vocal leader this offseason, supporting teammates through adversity — embodying the courage and heart of the late Chucky Mullins, whose tragic passing in 1991 inspired this enduring legacy. As Ole Miss gears up for their season opener against Louisville, Perkins’ versatility and determination will be key to the team’s success.
