Will Campbell and Harold Perkins continued to receive accolades on Monday as the LSU juniors were named preseason First Team All-Americans by the Associated Press.
This is the fourth All-American honor for each as last week, Campbell and Perkins were named first-team preseason All-Americans by both ESPN.com and Sporting News. Earlier this month, Campbell was named first-team preseason All-America by Walter Camp, while Perkins received second-team honors.
Campbell and Perkins, both Louisiana natives, are part of the foundation that has helped third-year head coach Brian Kelly guide the Tigers to back-to-back 10-win seasons.
Campbell enters the 2024 season with 26 career starts at left tackle and was a key leader for one of the most prolific offenses in college football history last season as LSU ranked in the Top 10 in both rushing and passing yards per game.
Perkins has built a reputation as a game-wrecker on defense, tallying 26 tackles for loss and 13 sacks in his first two years in Baton Rouge. He’s recorded 147 total tackles during that span.
