Diego Neri has committed to BG.  Diego is a MLB from Cincinnati Northwest HS.  He has been highly-recruited.  247 says he has 9 MAC offers, plus Air Force, Navy and Liberty.  He committed to CMU in March but decommitted on the 4th of July.

  

Overall, he is listed as a 3-star recruit.  He plays at 6'2" and 230.

He made 71 tackles last year, playing in all 9 games.  He had 1.5 sacks, and a forced fumble and recovery.

He was named all-conference and all-district and special mention all-state last year.  In fact, he was the only sophomore to be all-conference, and was all-district and special mention all-state as a sophomore.

You see plenty of references when you google him to the idea that people could see him developing as a "special" player.

Here's a local media description:

Diego Neri, Sr, LB – Arguably the best player to come out of Northwest since former NFL stud, Preston Brown. Neri is a two-time Division III OPSWA First Team All-Southwest District selection who was also named Honorable Mention All-Ohio in 2019. He has 266 total tackles, four-and-a-half sacks, six forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries, a fumble recovery for a score and one interception return for a touchdown in his career. 

Welcome to the Falcons, Diego.
