WR Reis Stocksdale has transferred from Ohio State.

WR Reis Stocksdale has transferred from Ohio State.

He doesn't have many stats, but that's because:

1) He's was a walk-on there.
2) Consider THAT WR room for a moment - a walk-on isn't playing there.

However, his name was instantly recognizable to me because there are stories of him being a legendary hard worker. He's one of Marvin Harrison Jr.'s best friends because they always stayed after practice to catch balls together. So at minimum, a great culture guy to have in the room - and I would bet a WR coached 4 years by Brian Hartline would have a decent chance of at least seeing the field in the MAC.

Missouri RB Austyn Dendy has officially signed with BGSU. Decent size at 6 ft 217lbs.

[mbenecke]

AJ Odom, a 6’3 LB, is transferring in from Memphis. He should have 2-3 years of eligibility remaining, I believe.

[mbenecke]

LB Andrew Hines III has committed to BG out of the portal.

He comes over after spending a year at Wake Forest. He was their 13th highest rated commitment of all-time, so a pretty significant pedigree coming out of high school a year ago.
