NEWS & NOTES: The Bulldogs offered Andrew Booth back over the summer on July 28th. Over the fall, the junior out of Archer High School visited the Tennessee Volunteers on Sept. 2nd. and most recently visited UGA on Nov. 4th for their 24-10 win over South Carolina. It’s still very early in Booth’s recruiting process but I would say he is a slight lean towards Clemson at the moment.

JOSEPH PERKINS

CLASS: 2020

POSITION: DB – Safety

HT, WT: 6 foot 0, and 186 lbs

SCHOOL: Madison-Ridgeland Academy

CITY, STATE: Madison, MS

STATUS: Undeclared

UGA OFFER: N/A

# OFFERS: N/A

NEWS & NOTES: “Joe” Perkins is a talented sophomore defensive back who plays at strong safety for Madison-Ridgeland Academy out of Madison, MS and is a 2020 prospect to keep your eye on. He finished the year with 62 tackles, 6 pass deflections, 2 interceptions, 6 pass deflections, and 3 tackles for loss. At 6 foot 0, and 186 lbs, with a 77.5-inch wingspan, he has a solid frame and is still growing. Perkins has also been timed a solid 4.6 in the forty.
 
What that translates to on the football field is a safety his not afraid to come downhill and stick his pads in there to make the hit and tackle. He does a good job of fighting off blocks to get to the ball carrier in traffic and then will wrap up to make the tackle, which I like to see in a young football player. You will also see him line up over the receiver when the opposing offense lines up in 3, 4 and 5 WR sets, and Perkins does a good job of covering when out on an island, especially playing the ball.
 
So is there interest in UGA. I spoke with Perkins on Twitter and he tells me visited for the Vanderbilt game last year and had a great time. “Joe” says he will playing for the Mississippi Grind 7-v-7 team this year; so, will probably in the Atlanta-metro area this summer and that he also plans on attending one of Kirby Smarts UGA football camps this summer.
