Fun interview with Edmond North High School receiver Mitch Perkinson
Edmond North High School wide out Mitch Perkinson is a player ready to make things happen against opposing Oklahoma high school defenses and at the next level. The 6’0”, 177 pound, receiver is viewed as a slot possession receiver, but he has some giddy up in his kick posting a 4.5 forty-yard dash wherever a coach has a stop clock.
College coaches like his sure handiness after seeing him pull down 25 passes for 420 yards with two scores pretty much all after the Huskies first-string quarterback was lost for the season due to an injury. North Texas, Central Arkansas, Drake, SMU, Wyoming, and Kansas are all showing interest and each trying to draw the under the radar recruit to their campus for a camp or an unofficial.
We quizzed Perkinson on all things football in a previous Recruiting News Guru exclusive interview but we wanted to know more. We drilled the Class of 2016 recruit about a few of his favorite things in our Q&A “getting to know you” series.
