Tony Perkins is a strong bodied guard with incredible athleticism. He uses his length and quickness extremely well on the defensive end as one of the top defensive guards in the state. With his frame, he’s also able to guard multiple positions on the defensive end of the floor.
Perkins currently holds offers from Purdue University – Fort Wayne, Ball State University, Toledo University, Morehead State University, and the University of Tampa.
Ranked #11 Overall and the #4 Shooting Guard in the Class of 2020 in Indiana, Tony has continually improved over his high school career. Early on, he was known for his athleticism and ability to leap with the best of them but he has polished other aspects of his game that have made him a better all-around prospect.
His perimeter, catch-and-shoot jumper has been one of his biggest improvements. At 6’4”, he doesn’t have any issues elevating and getting his shot off even when it’s contested. He has the same effect on his pull-up jumpers when he gets to his spots off the bounce.
One area that he is and always has been lethal is out in transition. He gets downhill quickly and gets to the rim effortlessly. Not many at the shooting guard position are going to be able to keep him off the rim when he gets out in the open court.
Tony Perkins is a high upside guy with more to prove this upcoming season. He is the type of player that is always in the position to make a play. Whether it’s guarding the opposing team’s best player or having his number called in clutch time at the end of the game, Tony is always ready to put his best foot forward when he’s on the court.
Perkins is planning to study Sports Medicine in college.
