BG has a recruit for the DLine...it seems mostly he is a DT or NG. His name is Dior Garner from Canton McKinley, one of the legendary programs in Ohio.  Also, brought Harold Fannin, Cynecir McNeal, Ryan Henry and Keith McLeod to BG (among countless others, I am sure).  Don Nehlen was also a head coach there.

Garner is a 3-star recruit with 18 offers.  They include Ball State, UB, CMU, EMU, Miami, Coastal Carolina, East Carolina, James Madison and Temple, along with 9 FCS offers.

At 6'4" and 285, he was Honorable Mention All-District.  He played both ways as a junior. On defense, Garner recorded 52 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, two sacks and three pass breakups. 

His coach, Antonio Hall, said that “Dior has a tremendous gift, He is a skilled big man. He has amazing feet, great hands, great football I.Q. and student of the game, and always constantly working on his crafts as an overall football player, I’m very pleased with his progression.”

When you google him, you get a bunch of pictures of Jennifer Garner wearing Dior, in addition to posts about him.

BG's recruiting seems to be off to a really good start.  It will be interesting to see if it can be sustained, but we are off to our best recruiting start in quite a while.

Welcome to the Falcons, Dior.
