BG with QB Verbal

H/T to Hustle Belt and Ken (in comments) for this one....BG has another verbal and this one is a QB.

His name is Elijah Cunningham, though he looks more like Richie Cunningham.  He is a '16 recruit and a pro-style QB from Springboro, OH.  Springboro is between Dayton and Cincinnati.

He is a highly rated recruit.  Rivals gives him 2-stars and ESPN gives him 3-stars.  He certainly has the right size, at 6'3" and 177 pounds.  As a junior, he was named to the All-Area 2nd team and all-District 2nd team.

His junior stats line is pretty good.  He completed 59% of his passes for a 14.2 yards per completion average and 22 TDs over 7 INT.  His QB rating was 153.   He only attempted about 22 passes per game, so it was not a pass-heavy offense.  They were 9-2 for the year.

There seems to be a lot of interest in him, but his only other reported offer was Akron.  ESPN's scouting report says he has the arm strength to make all the throws and is a smart QB who understands defenses.  He is mobile in the pocket.  Remember, BG doesn't really look for dual-threat QBs under the Babers regime.

Looks like a very interesting player for us.  As last year showed, you can't have too many QBs.  I have a hunch this young man hasn't heard the last from recruiters.
