2023 Best of New England Camp: “Stand Out’s” Part 4.

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The BONE (Best of New England) camp at Springfield College was again a huge success on Friday 6/16/23. A estimated 800+ prospects attended with hopes of grabbing college coaches attention. The camp staff did an excellent job of organizing this large event. Recruits were observed getting multiple reps which is always a main concern for many recruits during a large event. A known supporter and organizer of the event Steve Martin; helped get this event to being the premier event of New England on annual basis. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With so many athletes in attendance and given how many players were competing at the same time, It was impossible for me to see everyone. Therefore, this is not a definitive list of the best performers but just a list of recruits <strong><em>who caught my eyes</em></strong>; to where I was observing the talent during the camp. I spent my time viewing a few big-man groups along with receiver, running back, QB and DB groups. This is only the tops of what I was able to see. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> This is <strong>part 4 </strong>of a<strong> 5-part series</strong> that will be rolled out during week of June 19 through 24, 2023. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["548034"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":872560,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='548034' first='Davien' last='Kerr']rnrnu003cstrongu003eClass of 2024 Height:6'1 Weight 180 Wr/DB u003c/strongu003ernrn#3 in white shirt: He is a recruit we accidentally omitted from our last rankings update.  He will surely be added to the updated rankings being released August 2023. u003cimg class=u0022alignnone size-medium wp-image-872559u0022 src=u0022https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/06/2024-Davien-Kerr.jpg?w=190u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022190u0022 height=u0022300u0022 /u003ernrnHe displayed good balance and body control when going up for the ball.  Carries an obvious athletic frame with more room for growth and development.

He displayed critical factors needed for a wide receiver such as hands and catching ability, play speed and tempo, toughness and competitiveness, ability to separate, dependability, and playmaking abilities.   This young man recorded a 4.44 40yrd time that was the 3rd fastest time overall during the showcase. He is a name many will hear about in New England during the fall 2023 season.  I project him as a Div 1 recruit who will have multiple opportunities.  It's just a matter of time for this youngster as many college coaches are just getting familiar with his name.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64906780df8a9"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Kash13Kelly/status/1669770110209327114?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Kash13Kelly/status/1669770110209327114?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15061450/636e8741bd6a5b014c66eb56' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6494385278418"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["392384"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":872686,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='392384' first='Kymari' last='Latney']rnrnu003cstrongu003eSt.Thomas Moore(CT)/class of 2024/olb,db/5'11/190lbsu003c/strongu003ernrnMaroon 26 shirt: He was accidentally omitted from our 2024 rankings as a result of not knowing of his  reclassfication into the class of 2024.
