BG has a new transfer and a new commit....

The transfer is from Arizona State...Armon Bethea.  He played G at Arizona State for two years.  He played two games as a FR on the o-line and even one game on defense in a bowl game in a shortage of players.

He is from Erasmus High in Brooklyn, NY.  In its previous incarnation, Erasmus Hall might have more famous graduates than any HS in the US, from Bobby Fisher to Neil Diamond to Barbra Streisand to Mae West.  As you can see in his tweet above, he's in a New York State of Mind.

He was highly recruited out of HS, including by BG.  He had a ton of P5 offers.  He is 6'5" and came to Arizona State at about 350, although this article says he lost 50 pounds with the Sun Devils.  He was a 3-star recruit and the number 6 player in the state of New York.

He will have 3 years of eligibility. He comes at a position of need for BG, who loses Jalen Grant and Jakari Robinson off the interior of the line.  If he comes and is able to play, he will feel a need--but just coming from a P5 program has not always meant you will step right into the line up.  He's certainly got the measurables...

BG also has a commit from the local area, Bryce DeFalco.  He was a star player for Eastwood, who have been in a really successful era of their program--this year they made the regional semis. He was second-team all-District (Division V) at RB and all-league, both twice. He had 1,000 yards last year, and over 3,000 career all-purpose yards.  He's a playmaker.

He played both ways for the Eagles and I think it will be interesting to see where he fits.  It might be on defense.  He's listed at 5'10" and 180 pounds.

Armon and Bryce...welcome to the Falcons.
