Falcon football gains two verbals, one of them a *** (three-star)

Bowling Green has recently received two new verbal commitments for football, one of them a highly rated player from here in Ohio.

Willie Tatum (6'2" 200) LB from Pickerington is our highest rated recruit to date, based on ESPN.com. (I know, I don't put too much stock in those ratings, but you can take them for what they are worth.) The ESPN site really, really likes him, and he sounds like your prototypical linebacker with speed and good tackling. They projected him to potentially be a BCS LB, although there didn't seem to be any offers in that respect.

The other is Gabe Martin, a DE from Grand Blanc Michigan who apparently is projected to move to LB at BG.

He is listed at 6'3" and 21o pounds. Here's a local news report on his signing.

Welcome aboard to both of the new Falcons.
