Ja'Corey Benjamin will be coming in. He's the 2nd DB to come in from the portal.  BG has lost 5 DBs off the depth chart from the end of the year.

He was a 2-3 star recruit out of Houston.  He had no FBS offers and went to Texas Southern. He played four years there, one was the COVID year (they played in the Spring).  Another year he played less than four games, so I would say he has two years, but I almost always get these things wrong.

He played 22 games. He had 84 tackles, 4 INT and 14 passes defended. Interestingly, his PFF grades went up every year.  He was at 73 for coverage and 87 for run defense for last season.  In today's world, guys who can play that hybrid style are really valuable.

BG has also landed Zach Long, a kicker from Troy. He was a kickoff specialist there and I would expect the same at BG, with Jack Sauder in the portal.  In two seasons, he had 112 kickoffs and 70 touchbacks with 12 more fair catches.  His kickoff grade was 84.

Welcome to the Falcons, Zach and Ja'Corey.

Davion Daniels has also entered the portal.  He was on the depth chart, played 92 snaps.  He has signed at Slippery Rock.

The portal closes for the winter in a couple of days.
