2023 Live Game Action Scouting Volume 2.

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2023 season is off to a great start. I've been traveling around New England each weekend catching live-action games looking for rising talent and viewing identified prospects perform in a live setting. In this report, I will preview prospects I observed play in a live-action game that stood out and caught my attention during weeks of travel. I will also include all top prospects' names given to me by their respective coaches while attending these games. This is volume 2 of a continuing report. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["384396"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Eric Perkins The senior DB is a confident athlete with the ability to make special plays happen.  He is quick and electric.  Just prior to viewing him play opening night, I asked him to give me something to write about.  He opened the game with a dynamic 91 yard Kick Return. u003cimg class=u0022alignnone size-medium wp-image-1005713u0022 src=u0022https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/09/eric-perkins.jpg?w=225u0022 alt=u0022u0022 width=u0022225u0022 height=u0022300u0022 /u003ernrnHe has a very lean frame with good muscle and speed.  He played lock down the entire game at corner and was alos very good in run support needs.
