First Football Player in Portal

BG's has its first football player in the portal.  It's DeShawn Jones, who has been a contributing DB for BG.  

He played 11 games for BG this year but with only one start. 

He was named MAC East Defensive Player of the Week after making four tackles and recording a "pick-6" with a 45-yard touchdown return in win at Georgia Tech.  His 45-yard interception return for a TD at Georgia Tech capped 38-unanswered points by BGSU.  He also had 2 picks in a game against OU in 2021.

According to pff, he played 668 snaps last year and 198 this year.  Their grades show him getting better, so he wants to go where he can play.

Best of luck to him in his future endeavor.

FWIW, here is how the depth chart looks right now.

Based off of who “should” be back next year, the WR unit clearly is the biggest point of emphasis. If BG somehow manages retain its key players, a couple WR’s from the portal could fortify this unit immediately. There is some decent depth at most all other positions but there’s major unknowns behind these outgoing WR’s.

Agreed. There are 82 WRs in the portal right now, plus JUCOS.
