From the Orlando Sentinel....
DL Rene Perry (6-0/270) of Lake City Columbia committed to Bowling Green.
Florida all-state Honorable mention this year, last year he was all-state first team as a junior.
He had some Big East interest, and then we beat out Ball State (from perhaps unreliable reports). I like the looks of him. A block eating D-Tackle will be great for our defense.
Meanwhile, we have gained an assistant coach and lost an assistant coach. That makes 5 new coaches for next season....
Gained:
Matt Campbell as our new O-Line coach. He played at Mt. Union, was a grad asst. at BG for two seasons, and then coached the O-Line at Mt. Union for the last two seasons. He's young, but I don't mind getting anyone associated with the mind-boggling success of the Mt. Union Purple Raiders. He has won five national championships with them.
Lost:
DJ Durkin, linebacker coach and special teams coordinator. He is going to Stanford to be on Jim Harbaugh's staff. Durkin played at BG, and also had some time as an assistant at Notre Dame. Obviously, the PAC-12 is a step up. It is not clear from the BG release exactly what job he got there, however.
For the record, BG shows how BG assistants under Coach Brandon have advanced in the coaching profession.
D.J. Durkin, Linebackers/Special Teams (Defensive Assistant at Stanford)
Mick McCall, Quarterbacks (Offensive Coordinator at BGSU)
Greg Studrawa, Offensive Coordinator (Offensive Line at LSU)
Dennis Springer, RB/DB (Defensive Coordinator at W. Kentucky)
Zach Azzanni, WR (Assistant Head Coach at Central Michigan)
John Bowers, LB/DB/DT (Assistant at Western Washington)
Tim Beckman, Defensive Coordinator (Defensive Backs at Ohio State)
Vance Joseph, DB, (Defensive Assistant for San Francisco 49ers)
Steven Wilks, DB (Defensive Backs for Chicago Bears)
Tommie Thigpen, DB (Assistant at North Carolina)
