BG Adds DBack transfer

BG football has added another football transfer, this one also in the d-backfield.  His name is Todd Bumphis, who went to Toledo St. Francis and attended UC.  

He was a highly-decorated and highly-recruited player out of HS:

Consensus three-star prospect…Tabbed for 2019 All-Ohio First-Team honors and First-Team All Three Rivers Athletic Conference at defensive back…Helped 4x100m and 4x200m relays to the state meet (OHSAA DI) in 2019 where they placed 13th and 4th, respectively…2x conference sprint champion winning the 200m in 2018 and the 100m in 2019.

He never really caught on.  He played 35 games in 4 years (including the COVID year) and had 16 tackles over that time. He played 120 snaps last year, 75% of them on special teams.  It was 61 the year before and 119 before that, with a similar ratio of special teams.   He graded at 65 (PFF) on special teams and 70 in defensive sets, in low snap counts.

We are clearly building depth in the defensive backfield.  If he can help out wide in certain sets and on special teams, he's helping us fill out what we hope is a team that takes the next step in the conference.
