Parade All-American to Transfer to BGSU to play football

The Blade is reporting that Gehrig Dieter is transferring to Bowling Green to play football.

He's from South Bend and he played last year at SMU, where he made 3 starts and caught 10 passes for the Mustangs.  Dude was the 4A player of the year in Indiana, and had 437 yards receiving in one game,which is reported to be a national record.

From the Blade story:

He also holds Indiana state records for most receiving yards in a career (4,326), a season (2,171), and in a 4A State playoff game (168) as well as for TDs in a career (49).
Following his senior season, Dieter was named All-Indiana first team and was a Parade All-American while also receiving first-team All-American by MAXPreps, second-team All-American from SI.com and third-team All-American from ESPN.

He was the SI HS player of the week, and that write up is included here.

That's pretty good, right?  Before heading to SMU, he had offers from almost every team in the MAC and was a 2-star recruit on ESPN.com.

He will sit out next season, per NCAA rules, and be eligible to play in the Fall of 2014.  According to this, he cited a lack of playing time for the transfer.  His didn't get targeted much after dropping a pass against TCU.

Welcome to the Falcons, Gehrig.
