Ole Miss football head coach Pete Golding awarded senior linebacker Suntarine Perkins the 2026 Chucky Mullins Courage Award on Saturday, making him the 36th recipient of the award.
The award is given annually to the Ole Miss defender who best embodies the courage of late Rebels DB Chucky Mullins, whose career was ended in 1989 after he was paralyzed making a tackle against Vanderbilt. Mullins completed his degree at Ole Miss and passed away on May 6, 1991.
The Chucky Mullins Courage Award is considered the highest honor an Ole Miss defender can receive. Here’s a look at Perkins accepting the honor on Saturday, via Ole Miss Football:
