Falcon Verbal #11/#13

The Falcons have the second highly-ranked verbal commitment and it is yet another player on the defensive side of the ball.  His name is Rahn Bailey, and he is from Clear Falls HS which is in League City, Texas.  (This is between Houston and Galveston).  Information here comes from Hustle Belt, which is doing an excellent job on MAC recruiting and it appears actually spoke to him.

Rahn is a DE/LB in our system.  ESPN has him as a 3-star recruit and the #59 OLB in the country. Beyond that, ESPN reports he had offers from Kansas, Navy, Nevada, Wisconsin, and (wait for it), Wake Forest.

He's 6'2" and 226, which is really a nice size for a guy who plays on the edge.  He told Hustle Belt he will either rush or drop into coverage.  In the Clawson system, almost sounds like a rover, though I have no idea if we would have something like that now.

According to Hustle Belt, he has 53 total tackles, 12 sacks, five pass break-ups, two forced fumbles, and a interception as a junior.  No idea what level he was playing at, but clearly he was a productive playmaker.

This is a big get for the Falcons.  Rankings are projections, not reality, but this looks like a terrific player who clearly has the ability to be a huge contributor in the MAC.

As I have mentioned before, I am glad to see that we are not forgetting that we have to defend sometimes and that championship teams excel both ways.

Welcome to the Falcons, Rahn.
