Perkins earns Admiral Mack Award as Navy's most improved player
Defensive end Jackson Perkins, a rising junior, was named winner of the Admiral Mack Award as Navy's most improved football player during spring practice. (Phil Hoffmann /)Jackson Perkins earned praise from Navy defensive coaches last August for his performance during preseason training camp.
Perkins stepped up to the point he was part of the defensive end rotation for the season opener at Hawaii. The 6-foot-6, 257-pound sophomore was credited with a tackle during his varsity debut.
However, Perkins was displeased with himself for not taking an opportunity to level Hawaii quarterback Cole McDonald.
