Solid offseason has BGSU standout Fannin primed for another big year
BOWLING GREEN — There’s no doubt that Harold Fannin, Jr., has proven himself with impressive play on the field for Bowling Green State University’s football team. What he’s done in the offseason might take the first-team Mid-American Conference tight end’s game to another level this year. “Where Harold’s done a much better job is his offseason habits have been much better. He’s been accountable, and he’s slowly but surely developing into what we thought he would be,” BGSU coach Scot Loeffler said after the Falcons opened fall practice on Monday at Doyt Perry Stadium. “He’s a pro, there’s no doubt about it. He needs to continue with those elite habits, but we’re constantly working.” Fannin’s busy workload, including a sensational catch over a defender along the sideline during an 11-on-11 drill, was one of numerous highlights from the Falcons during their first practice. Each area of BGSU’s squad had its fair share of big plays and moments, and the Falcons were nearly at full strength as well.
