BG Football Adds DT Transfer

Coach Loeffler continues to strategically work the transfer wire to help rebuild the program in today's transfer-mad world.

This young man is Ali Saad, who is transferring after one year at Minnesota.  He's from Dearborn originally and was a 3-star recruit when he headed to Rowtheboatland.  He was widely recruited and actually visited Bowling Green in 2019.  247 ranked him the #25 recruit in Michigan and #76 in the nation at DT.

He did not appear in a game with the Gophers and he has four years of eligibility remaining.

He was named a 2019-20 KLAA All-Conference athlete.  He finished his career with 141 tackles and 22 tackles for loss and helped lead his team to the state playoffs his junior season by racking up more than 40 tackles and nine sacks.

He clearly lands in a position of tremendous need.  Maybe the biggest need on the field.  Certainly the defense (under new leadership) needs to get things oriented, even in the face of losing quality experienced players from an already stretched unit.

By the way, if you are interested in tracking the MAC Portal world, I'd check out this site, the MAC Football Blog.  He's 100% on top of it.  For interest, check out the exodus of Buffalo players to Kansas--which isn't that surprising, since Buffalo would have beaten Kansas last year.
