Falcons Land Two Florida Football Verbals

Back in town again, and the biggest news while I was gone appears to be that the football team landed two more verbals, bringing the total up to 10.  Both of these players are from Florida.  The Palm Beach Post says BG is one of the MAC's most aggressive Florida recruiters, and while this will dredge up age-old arguments over whether BG should recruit the Great Lakes (OH especially) or Florida, I would just say that the important thing is the output, not the input.  If the team wins and does it in a way we can be proud of, then I don't care where they came from.

Anyway, not only are both players from Florida but they are teammates on the Seminole Ridge team.

Omar Pierre-Louis is expected to play CB, and had 13 offers including Tulane, Florida Atlantic and Central Florida.   (Rumors that Tulane recruited him solely for the perfection of his name could not be verified.)  Louis is 6'0' and 180 and is a 2-star recruit on Rivals and unranked on ESPN.

The other player is Jason Shepherd, a weakside DE who could translate into an OLB at BGSU.  He is unranked on ESPN and on Rivals, but had 8 offers, including Tulane and CMU.  He is 6'1 and 220.

Jason, Omar....welcome to the Falcons.
