RB Lamical Perine 5-11 211 incoming recruit.
I've liked him since they started recruiting him.
Sr 1,654 yds, 15 TD's, Ala 7A 1st Team, AL/MS All Star, Ala #1 APB
Then, he was my
'dark-horse' in a loaded backfield, to shine as a true Fr at 5-11 221.
13 GMs, 91 for 421 yds, 4.6 ypc -- 9 rec for 161 yds, 17.9 yds/rec.
Had 2 100 yard games vs Power 5 (SEC) opponents, and he returned kicks 21.5 ave.
#1 on team with 643 yds
His Soph season he was UF’s most consistent running back and offensive player.
11 Gms, 8 GS, 136 for 562 yds, 4.1 ypc, 8 TD's - 10 Rec for 81 yds, 1 TD.
His Jr season, 13 Gms,
1 GS, 134 for 826 yds, 6.2 ypc 7 TD's.
Rec 13 for 170 yds, 13.1 yds/rec, 1 TD.-- Combined 996 yds and 8 TD's
He out played rsJr Scarlett, who left early for the NFL and was drafted.
~ Peach Bowl vs Mich, he had a 53 yd run for a TD and he caught a pass for a TD.
Sr Season at UF -
5-11 227 Sr - invited by Dan to Hoover for SEC Media Days.
Lamical enters his Sr season with an opportunity to become the 1st Gators RB to lead the team in rushing for 3 consecutive seasons since Errict Rhett did it 4 years in a row from 1990-93.
Keep in mind that Perine has only had a total of 9 career starts while accomplishing that....
On coming back for his Sr season:
"I put everything in God's hands when I made the decision. When I made my decision to come back, it's probably one of the best decisions I could have made."
Q: What would having a 1,000-yard season mean to you?
A: Honestly, if I get 1,000 yards, that would be great. But man, as long as I'm winning, I don't care about 1,000 yards. If it comes, it comes. I want to win. Winning games, man, that feels way better than having 1,000 yards and losing.
iG -- 4 years and he's still
my kind of GATOR and there's no
'dark-horse' about it....
