Dequan Stanley is the newest commit for BG.  He's 5'10" and 160 pounds and a WR/CB who seems to project as a WR at BG.  He's from St. Augustine FL, which is on the Atlantic Coast between Jacksonville and Daytona.  Supposedly the oldest city in the US.

He was third-team 6A all-state as a CB (there are 8A's total)  He had offers from Maryland, Akron, Troy, Bryant, Gardner Webb, Notre Dame (OH), Campbell and Coastal Carolina.  

He is a three-sport star...he plays football, basketball and track.   He has no ranking currently, but seems to have embraced it.  For many, its a motivator.

Here's a good story about him.  He's a playmaker.  In October of his junior year, he had three kickoff returns TDs THAT SEASON.  He averaged 19.6 yards per catch (at that point of the season).  

He ran an 11.1 100-meter dash in HS, high jumped 1.9M and 6.58M on the long jump.

At that size, I think you have him in the slot but he's clearly a playmaker coming to a program that is trying to accumulate them.

We have 9 commits now and 3 of them are WRs.  There are currently 5 scholarship WRs on the roster and no one more than a sophomore (amazing).  Three WRs were in the last recruiting class (4 but one enrolled early) and is counted there.

So, by the time Dequan gets to BG in the summer of 2021, we'd have (as it stands now) 11 scholarship WRs.

Welcome to the Falcons, Dequan.
