As signing day nears, BG has landed two more verbal committments for the class of 2015, and both of them from the fertile football grounds of the state of Florida.

Tony Soto is Antonyo Sotolango, who is a safety from Gulliver Prep in Miami.  He appears to be a pretty big get.

His rivals page shows nearly two dozen offers, including from Big 10 schools as high as Wisconsin.  There's plenty of evidence online he visited Wisconsin and Arkansas.  ESPN has him as a 3-star recruit and ranked at a 76.  Rivals also has him as 3-stars.

Not sure what happened to get him at BG (you just don't see this happen very often)...at lot of times it is something academic, but the dude also has an offer from Princeton (and Wake Forest).  Either way, this guy appears to be a player and it appears like a great recruiting job by our team.

Here's a story from the Miami Herald that says that he was a "terror" on defense with 2 INTs and a pick 6 in an early season game.

Janarvis Pough is from American Heritage HS in Plantation Florida, which is on the SE Coast of the state.  ESPN has him as a 2-star recruit and an ATH and projects him to be a slot receiver or a DB, though he played WR and QB in high school.  He is a 2-star on Rivals, which says he ran a 4.4.

He had offers from NIU, Bucknell, James Madison.

Here's a little taste from the Miami Herald.  In a state playoff game, Pough had 3 touchdown catches from his QB...who is committed to Ohio State.  (Pough transferred to Plantation and probably played QB at his previous school).

Here's what his coach says:

“Tremendous speed, good kid, he’s got to have about a 3.5 GPA,” said Heritage coach Mike Rumph of Pough, whose top offer currently is from Bowling Green. “[College programs] should be banging his door now. He’s totally under the radar.”

Looks like a couple of very good players for the Falcons.  Welcome, gentlemen.
