FalconBlog--Triumphs and Trials in the BGSU Falcon Nation

Falcons land Indiana DE (Note: 1,000th post to this blog!).

6-3, 240 lb Kevin Alvarado

We apparently beat out Ball State for this one. (Credits to Flipper Via AZZ in tracking this one down.) He reportedly had contact from Big 10 schools, and was a second team all-state player.

Long snaps, too. Hey, looks like he could be a nice player.

E: KEVIN ALVARADO, East Chicago Central, te-rb-de-lb, 6-4, 235: A 3-year starter, Alvarado had 48 solos, 30 assists, 4 forced fumbles and 3 fumble recoveries, returning 2 for TDs. He caught 28 passes for 449 yards (16.0) and 2 touchdowns and carried 16 times for 70 yards (4.3). Alvarado also long snaps and is being looked at by Division I colleges.

New Updated Tally, as best we know.

WR Charlie Brown (a previous soft verbal) has now announced his choices are between Connecticut and UNC

Updated in italic below. See here for uninformed analysis.

These JUCO players are official announcements from the U, as detailed in this post.
RB-Eric Ransom-Trinity Valley CC-5-10, 185 with 4.45 speed (TX)***
K/P-Nick Iovinelli...6'-1" 185 Harper College (IL)
LB-Jerrson Davis.....Coffeyville C.C. 6'1 207 4.69. 30 inch vertical
K-Sinisa Vrvilo, 6'1, 255 Ft. Worth, Texas/South Hills HS/Trinity Valley CC

Here are my traditional players through the HS route.
WR-Charles Brown.....Maple Heights, OH....5-10, 190 with 4.5 speed*** This guy looks like a really good prospect, and since Ty Pronty (a current Falcon) recruited him, I hope it means that the current players are still with the program. (Update: he is now a soft verbal, and is visiting UNC. We could be on the verge of losing this one. Butch Davis is raiding the verbals at other schools.)
WR-Raymond Hutson...detroit MI, 6-2 175 4.4 (#45 on Detroit News Michigan Blue Chip List)
DT-Ben Bojicic....Farmington Hills, MI 6'4 273 5.1 (#37 -Detroit News Michigan Blue Chip List)

LB/SS-Glen Stanley-Vanguard (Fla). 6'2, 210. Note: his cousin is playing here. If the team was lost, he'd be going somewhere else. More on him here.
