AZZ Rumor says that QB Nate Brown is headed our way--and we lose a reported verbal

Rumors on AZZ.com say that QB Nate Brown of PA will be coming to BG. He's from Harrisburg, and would appear to be a good guy to wear our uniform. Scout says he has 8 scholarship offers.

17. NATE BROWN, Harrisburg (Harrisburg) - One of the more undervalued prospects in the state, if not the entire northeast. Tough to be an unknown when you are the starting quarterback for the team that had perhaps the most talent in the state, but somehow Brown managed. A lot of that may be because he broke his wrist towards the end of his junior year and missed working out at a lot of summer camps. Qualifying issues are also a question mark. But on the field, he has nice 6’4” 210 pound size, a good arm, and much better than average athletic ability. He is also coached by excellent offensive mind George Chaump, who spent time coaching in the NFL. Butler says about him, “I like him a lot. Quarterback, linebacker, I don’t care. He is a player.” Right now he is getting MAC, low D-1, and D-2 offers, but a bigger program could get a steal with him if he qualifies.

Also, reports had indicated Kevyn Scott, a DB from Miami was coming here. This report from Miami indicates that he is now going to Syracuse.

Not sure what "qualifying issues" might mean in terms of him being available to practice, but our QB situation seems set enough that getting him because of this and giving him a year to work on his grades and strength/conditioning/football stuff for a year might turn into a great deal for BG and Brown.

...then a running back... then a DE... then a linebacker again... then a tight end.
