No real surprise here, but Quintin Morris has announced he is leaving BGSU to attempt to play in the NFL.  He will play in the Senior Bowl, which is the premier showcase for the NFL Draft.

Nothing but the best for Quintin.  He played 4 years here and would under ordinary circumstances have been out of eligibility this year anyway.  COVID gave him the opportunity for one more year, but he is opting to go pro.  Just as a reminder, it's perfectly reasonable to be in college for four years and then be ready to move on with your life.  In fact, that's the whole idea.

Quintin is a Texan who was recruited by Coach Jinks in the first 100% Jinks class.  He is the first non-JUCO player in that class to complete normal eligibility.  He came as a WR but moved to TE under Coach Loeffler.  His hybrid ability is what made him effective and is a skill the NFL is looking for.

He was All-MAC twice...first-team this past season.  In fact, it's a sign of respect for his ability that he made the first-team, because he caught only 20 passes in BG's 5 games.  It was clearly noticed that he was hampered by being really the only target for a team with the lowest pass efficiency in the FBS.

He caught 125 passes and scored 13 TDS for BG, with 1,529 overall yards.

Which means that BG's top 3 WRs are not coming back, as of today.  We completed 54 passes in our 5 games, and those three guys represent 40 of them.

Just a dash of realism for the 2021 season, whatever it looks like.

Thanks to Quintin for being a Falcon.  He distinguished himself in orange and brown.  Best of luck to him.
