2023 New England Showcase Tour Report: Part 2.

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On May 15-16, 2023, New England Prep Schools and one public High School saw as many as 75-100 college coaches come together to evaluate prospects within the New England Region. The two day showcase tour began traveling through NEPSAC Schools in Connecticut and ending in Massachusetts.  It wasn't too long ago where football recruiting for New England was, nationally, a little off the radar, and an area where it wasn't attractive to college coaches as it relates to high level talent they traditionally pursue. But as evidenced by the last two days of this New England Showcase, those days are far over. Division 1 Power Five, FBS Non Power 5 , Div 1 FCS, Division 2, and Division 3 coaches came to see players go through drills, skills and eye testing. There were roughly 75-100 or more coaches that participated in this event. The results of the event as you will see was a high success. <strong>The following players performances earned them Athletic Scholarship opportunity offers.</strong> This is <strong>Part </strong>2 of this report and additional reports will follow as the High School Head Coaches share the success of the event to me as requested.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
