Falcon Football Verbal....Jalen Brady


The internet is telling us that BG has another football verbal....this is QB Jalen Brady, who will be attending Southfield (MI) in the Fall.  Before that, he attended Grand Ledge, but his parents have moved to Southfield. 

According to the linked article, he is considered one of Michigan's top QB prospects.  When Wisconsin looked at him, they thought he looked like Russell Wilson. 

He is 5'11" and 185 pounds, so he doesn't have traditional drop back QB size.  He is projected to be a pocket passer, however.  Sometimes, this is how a skilled player (who apparently also was recruited by MSU) falls into BG's hands.

Here's a little more bio info....he's only played QB for a few years, before that he was a WR and he was showing some chemistry with his new teammates at a summer passing league.

He is BG's 2nd QB in the class.  The first, Cody Callaway of Elyria, was also highly ranked. Coach has said we will sign at least one QB in each class, but obviously you take advantage of opportunities like this when you get them.  He clearly is not looking for dual threat QBs...he recruits almost exclusively pocket passers.

Anyway, welcome to the Falcons, Jalen.
