I mentioned in my West Weeks preview that LSU’s key linebackers are guys who performed decently well last year and Harold Perkins. This is a group that’s unproven, as the guys with experience played alongside NFL-caliber talent. Then there’s Harold Perkins, who is a beast. Then there are the guys with lots of promise and lots to prove, such as South Carolina transfer Kolbe Fields.
The Story
247sports ranked Fields a 3-star recruit and the 82nd-best linebacker in the nation coming out of Archbishop Rummel High School in 2021. He committed to Oklahoma State in January of 2020, de-committed in July, committed to Memphis two weeks after that, de-committed from Memphis in January of 2021, and committed to South Carolina one day later before officially signing in February.
