Bio

Coach Perkins has been coaching for 2 years with CHS. I spent my first year with the Freshman as the running back coach. This year I’m the Varsity running backs coach. I was raised in Carmel, IN and played Pups football both 5th and 6th grade. I even played on the All Star football teams for Carmel Dads club. I went to Clay middle school where we only lost one game in two seasons. I then was blessed with an opportunity to be the first freshman in Carmel history to start as a freshman. I played 4 years varsity under Coach Wright where we went to 3 state championships. I ended my career as Carmel 5th all time all time rusher and 9th in all purpose yards. After my high school career ended in the 2014 season. I earned a scholarship to Southern Illinois University where I played as a true freshman and broke SIU’s single game touchdown to carry record with 6 career 116 yds and 2 touchdowns. I then went on to play 4 years at SIU and earned my Bachelors of Science degree in Dietetics and Nutrition in 2019.
