2026 Football Commits

Kingston Seals, a linebacker/ATH from Shaker Heights has committed to BG.

Had an official visit with Syracuse and they seemed to be the only other program with much interest in him.

Noted on X that out of 29 official visits this summer, 17 kids have committed.

According to X...Between the transfers and HS signees..51 new players are hitting the program. Definitely going to need a program when I visit the Doyt

He also held offers from Army, Navy, Georgia State, and Jacksonville State.

Chris Newell Jr., a RB/DB (listed as an ATH) from Cleveland, OH, has committed to BG.

He held offers from Akron, Buffalo, Ball State, Colorado State, East Carolina, Eastern Michigan, Kent State, Kentucky, Marshall, Miami, Ohio, Pitt, Syracuse, Temple, Toledo, UConn, and UMass.

Maddux Murphy, an OT from Saint Joseph HS in Michigan, has committed to BG.

OL Travis Robertson has flipped to UCLA. He chose BG over a few P4 folks, but I'm guessing that LA NIL money is something we couldn't touch.
