"We're disappointed in his actions and take a strong stance against drinking and driving," Strong said. "When you get behind the wheel after drinking, you not only risk your life, but the lives of others, and that's something you just can't do."
Perkins has been a starter for Texas for almost every game since 2014. Texas has this week off, but will play at Oklahoma State next Saturday.
