Football Update

 So, the portal opened a Saturday, and BG had three additional players jump in.  We were expecting this.  Once the spring practice is over and the depth chart is set, there are more guys who think they won't play.  It's the opportunity to pick up additional players as well.

All four of the portal players as of today are on offense. We already discussed Owen Bainbridge, the QB. The others are:

Jalen Holley (WR) was an early enrollee in 2022 and didn't play, taking a redshirt. He is from River Rogue and was a 3-star recruit and had a number of MAC offers.

Jaylen Jennings (RB) also enrolled early in 2022.  He played 4 games, and therefore retained his redshirt. He was also a 3-star recruit with some P5 offers.  He battled injury as well.  Loeffler was really high on him and they were looking forward to having him healthy.

Jaedyn McKinstry (TE) was a 3-star recruit from Toledo St. John's. He played in 16 games and would have entered this year as a R-So.  He is a cancer survivor.  He caught 3 passes as a Falcon and threw a INT on an unfortunate trick play call.

In other news, Chris Hedden, who recently left the BG staff, is now the OC at Ohio Northern.
