By the end of the 2017 season, Bowling Green’s backfield was a youth movement: a true freshman quarterback was starting and often handing off to true freshman running back.
This season, quarterback Jarret Doege and running back Andrew Clair are back to run the show as sophomores, but the Falcons have a few newcomers who could follow the same path as Doege and Clair and see the field in their first year on campus.
The Falcons’ most recent recruiting class ranked third in the Mid-American Conference, according to 247Sports. While some of the youngsters will wait their turns behind older players, some will have roles right away.
