BG Adds Additional OL for '22

So....BG has added yet another transfer OL, eligible for the 2022 season.  This is Tunde Fatukasi, the transfer from Rutgers mentioned in the post on Jake Burns.

Fatukasi went to Erasmus Hall HS in Brooklyn...the alma mater of people as wide ranging as Neil Diamond, Barbra Streisand and Mae West.,,the list goes on.

His older brother played for BG Asst Julian Campenni at UConn and is a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars and another older brother signed as a UDFA with Tampa Bay in the Spring.

He is 6'5" and 300 lbs and did not play at Rutgers.  He will have four years at BG but has used his redshirt year. By my count, that makes 13 14 OL on the BG roster, with 8 transfers.  That does not include Jake Burns or Quinton Bradford, whose twitter feed shows he is coming here but is not on the roster.

He was all-city and all-conference at Erasmus.  He was a 3-star recruit on 247 and the #13 player in NY, again according to them.

In addition to Rutgers, BG, UMass and UB were other D1 programs that offered him out of HS.

According to this Rutgers blog, he was on the two-deep as a true FR.

Welcome to the Falcons, Tunde.
