So, the football team has its first commit for '24, so far as I know.  This is an interesting one.  

Jaylin Ballew is a TE from Brooklyn, NY, where he attends Erasmus Hall.  Currently, his 247 lists him as unrated, but also reports him as having offers from the Other Miami, Rutgers, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas A&M.  People started offering him when he was a freshman. He had an offer from UConn and Bethune-Cookman recently. 

He scored a TD in their championship game in December. 

He was on Lemming's radar.

FWIW, Erasmus Hall was also the HS of Armon Bethea, an OL who transferred to BG from Arizona State and will be on the team this year.  There's another Bethea player there right now, as well.

He's 6'3" and 210.  

Welcome to the Falcons, Jaylin.
