Falcon Football Verbal: Odell Spencer, Part 2

Odell Spencer looks to be back in the fold as a Falcon.  (H/t to Hustle Belt.)

He is from Shaker Heights and played WR and DB, but apparently projects to WR at BG.  He actually committed last year, then de-committed.

I decommitted no longer going to Bg

He then signed to play at the University of Cincinnati.  Apparently, that didn't happen and he is taking classes at Lakeland CC to shore up his academics.  This report from a UC blog says he did not qualify academically.

His plan is to enroll in BG in January 2016 and be ready to roll for spring ball.

We were pretty excited to have him coming to BG when he committed last year....here is what I wrote back then:

The Falcons landed a verbal yesterday and according to Rivals, he is a 3-star player.  His name is Odell Spencer and he plays for Shaker Heights over in the Cleveland area.

According to rivals, he is our 2nd 3-star player---the other is Chance Weitz.

Spencer was listed at 5'10", 165, in the article cleveland.com did on the last signing day about players to watch for the next signing day.  In the article, they said he had "terrific speed off the line and [is] very athletic."

According to Rivals, he had offers from Old Dominion, Akron and Buffalo.

During his junior season, he had 33 receptions for 461 yards...a 14.6 yard average.  He scored 4 TDs, and 2 of them came in their final game of the season.  His best game was against Parma where he caught 9 passes for 82 yards and a TD.

He played on a good team--they went 8-2 last season.

Welcome to the Falcons, Odell!

This is a guy who clearly can contribute on either side of the ball.

So....Welcome to the Falcons, Odell!!
