The Chargers are hosting LSU linebacker Harold Perkins Jr, according to NFL insider Ryan Fowler.
Perkins also has a visit scheduled with the Steelers.
Perkins entered the 2025 campaign coming off a torn ACL, which he sustained the previous season. He was a versatile playmaker for LSU’s STAR position, a hybrid linebacker, before electing to enter the 2026 NFL Draft.

In 2025, Perkins posted 56 tackles, 8.0 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and tied for the team lead with three interceptions in 12 games.
In four seasons at LSU, he recorded 35 tackles for loss and eight forced fumbles. Fowler believes Perkins remains one of the more interesting evals in this year’s draft class. A unique chess piece for the defense, he can blitz, play the run, and spy opposing quarterbacks.
