Football News

 A couple of news from the football front...

First, Erik Campbell, who came to BG with Loeffler, is leaving to return to the University of Michigan as an assistant WR Coach...which is as opposed to the Assistant Coach of WRS....he will be assisting that guy.

As I noted in my season wrap-up, I believe the coaches on the offensive side of the ball could use a shake up.  When I look at the players we have, I think our output is less than the sum of our parts.  (6th in scoring offense, 8th in rushing yards/carry, 5th in pass efficiency).

Some fresh blood will be useful.  This is also a position group we have had trouble getting bodies into...that will also need to improve.

Also, the first verbal of '26 is in. His name is Derrick Singletary and he's from Middletown, OH.  He also goes by JD, apparently.   He's an EDGE rusher. He was all-district as a junior and a 3-star recruit on 247.  He was heavily recruited...Ball State, UB, EMU, UK, OU, Temple, UT, WVU and WMU.

There is an interesting trend developing.  With the new roster limits, HS players may find it tough to get recruited by P4 schools.  It's possible the MAC could pick those players up....as they look to play their way to a higher level. Singletary might be in that category.  Also, walk-ons will be disappearing...and some of those guys might be MAC-quality players as well.

Best of luck Erik.  Welcome to the Falcons, Derrick.
