Perkins has played both right guard and right tackle during his time in Austin, but he was recently shifted over to left guard, according to the Dallas Morning News' Chris Siron.
All told, Perkins has started 26 games over the course of his career. He's played in two of the Longhorns' three games this season after he was forced to miss the team's 41-7 win over UTEP on Sept. 10.
Texas had a bye in Week 4 and travels to Boone Pickens Stadium for a meeting with the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Oct. 1.
