Two New Football Verbals

As trumpeted on social media, BG landed two more football verbals yesterday, bringing the total up to 8 players so far.

The first is Andrew Armstrong of Youngstown Cardinal Mooney.  I know I have written often about how glad am I when we get guys from Pittsburgh, but let me say the same rule applies to Youngstown.  My guess is those guys are going to be harder to get with Pelini in town, but these guys are raised on a culture of football.

Also, for all the talk about the State of Bowling Green under Clawson, Babers is getting more results in Ohio than Clawson ever did.

Armstrong played TE and S at Cardinal Mooney.  However, a tweet from a BG assistant referred yesterday (without names) to getting 2 LBs, so I am going to guess that is where they are projecting Armstrong.  Hustle Belt tells us that he is 6'2" and 215 lbs, and had offers from Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross and Robert Morris.

Young man is a ball hawk.  He had 5 interceptions and two of them were pick-sixes.  He was one of only 4 underclassmen on the Divison IV all-district defensive team.  He was also special mention all-state.  He also played baseball and basketball...my bias for multi-sport athletes is also clear.

The other young man is Jerry Judd of Streetsboro, which is north of Kent and east of Hudson.  According to Hustle Belt, Judd is 6'1" and 190 pounds and played QB and LB for Streetsboro.  I am guessing he projects to a LB at BG.  He was very productive at QB,  He was the team's leading rusher with over 11 yards per carry and 1,500 yards and a ridiculous 25 touchdowns.  He also threw for 1,200 yards and 10 TDs as well.    He also had 40 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 INTs and 1 pick six.

He was first team Division IV all-district and special mention all-state.  (He received similar honors in basketball).

Again from Hustle Belt...he had no specific offers but strong interest from Toledo, Ohio, Navy, Air Force, Youngstown State, and James Madison.

One last thing...when you look at the other offers, you can see that there are very likely no academic issues with these two.

Welcome to the Falcons, Andrew and Jerry.
