Cincinnati.com is reporting that Nilijah Ballew has committed to Bowling Green.  This is a huge get for BG.

He was committed to Louisville in April.  When Charlie Strong left, he felt that the new coaches neglected him and started to look around.  He was Louisville's highest ranked recruit.

He is a 6'2", 200 lb strong safety from Cincinnati Walnut Hills.

So, first, Louisville.  ESPN ranks him as a 3-star recruit and Rivals as a a 4-star and #27 at his position.

He was Division I all-area for the Cincinnati Enquirer.  He was also second team all-state.

He is the 4th high-profile commitment signed by BG since Coach Babers came on board.
