Cypress (Texas) Cy Park <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/consensus-five-stars/football/2022/">Five-Star Plus+</a> linebacker <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/harold-perkins-47531/">Harold Perkins</a> has decommitted from <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/texas-am-aggies/">Texas A&M</a>, as first reported by <a href="https://twitter.com/SWiltfong247/status/1485691978536914944?s=20">Steve Wiltfong of 247 Sports</a> and confirmed by On3’s Gerry Hamilton.



“This has been one of the hardest decisions to make, but I will be decommitting from Texas A&M and will announce my decision February 2 at my school,” Perkins told On3’s Hayes Fawcett.



Perkins went on an official visit to <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/florida-gators/">Florida</a> earlier in the month and will be on an official visit to <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/miami-hurricanes/https://www.on3.com/college/lsu-tigers/football/2022/commits/">LSU</a> this forthcoming weekend.



Perkins is the No. 3 prospect in the 2022 class, according to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/consensus-player/football/2022/" rel="noreferrer noopener">On3 Consensus</a>, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.



He is the top linebacker in the 2022 cycle.



Perkins was a key part of Texas A&M’s No. 1 recruiting class in the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/consensus-team/football/2022/">On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings</a>. 



The Aggies had three of the top four recruits in the country in Perkins, Powell (Tenn.) High defensive lineman <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/walter-nolen-120108/">Walter Nolen</a> and Frisco (Texas) Liberty wide receiver <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/evan-stewart-43427/">Evan Stewart</a>.



His visit to Gainesville, Fla., went well and he told Gators Online that <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/florida-gators/news/five-star-linebacker-harold-perkins-recaps-official-visit-weekend-with-the-gators/">the coaching staff gave him something to think about</a>.



“It was fun; it was exciting,” Perkins said after his official visit. “Feels like the new staff is bringing new things in and I like it. I like how they’re spending more money on the players and investing in the players.”



Perkins announced his commitment to Texas A&M during the Under Armour All-American Game.



On3 National Recruiting Analyst Gerry Hamilton named Perkins to <a href="https://www.on3.com/news/under-armour-all-america-game-all-effort-team-by-position/">his all-effort team at the game</a>.



“The On3 Consensus five-star will line up at both linebacker and running back in the game January 2,” Hamilton said. “He’s a player that played both ways the last two seasons at Cy Park, and is always moving full speed. Perkins personality can be a bit misleading as he is laid back and will often times act nonchalant, but don’t mistake that for a lack of effort on the field.”
