The Loeffler era has its first high-profile verbal--at least that we are aware of.  This is a good one.  In fact, he's the highest rated player in the class to date.

His name is Brock Horne, and he's from Romeo, MI, which is kind of north of the Detroit suburbs, almost in the base of the thumb.  He's a MLB and a 3-star recruit from 24/7.  They rank him as the #61 ILB in the country.

He had offers from Buffalo, CMU, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Iowa State, Miami, Princeton and Toledo...so this is a guy who had a lot of options.  He also had a PWO from Michigan.

He's 6'2" and 210 and had a very productive senior season.  He had 108 tackles, 10 for loss and 2 sacks.  For that matter, he was also a thousand-yard rusher, though he certainly seems to translate to a MLB in college.  He was first-team All-State for Division 1-2 on defense. 

You have to like those Ivy League offers, because they show he's a good student as well.  Based on his picture, he will compete with Caleb Bright on day 1 for best hair on the team.  I'm going to guess that one key item in his decision is that BG can use LBs and there's a chance to play right away.

Welcome to the Falcons, Brock.
