West Ottawa’s 6-foot-4, 185-pound senior receiver made the announcement on his Twitter account Friday evening.

This is a pretty nice PWO pickup (assuming he's a PWO). Had offers from Valpo, Presbyterian, Trine and Judson. 2 straight years of Grand Rapids Dream Team 1st team, and Michigan AP all-state 1st team this year.

In 6 games, had 80 catches for 956 yards and 9 TDs (1,200 total offense) as a senior. 83 catches for 1,117 yards and 11 TDs as a junior.

Highlights: https://www.hudl.com/profile/9759346/Blake-Bosma
Tough runner, hard to bring down!

The D Zone called him one of their favorite receivers in the class of 2021, and he lead the state in receptions and receiving yards. He also played safety and was a playmaker there.

The OK-Red is a really tough conference, too. Caledonia, Jenison, Rockford, Grandville, Hudsonville, East Kentwood...all top notch programs.

I really like how he high points the ball in traffic.

We got a transfer DL from East Carolina today. He was a two-time 1st team all-conference player in JUCO before going to East Carolina. Hozey Haji-Badri, 6 foot 3 and 277 pounds.

It's good that we are addressing our thin D-line. This guy didn't have much of a career at ECU, though. 15 tackles, 1.5 TFL after 2 years, but only played in 4 games in 2020, might have been hurt. If he can be a rotational player for us, I'll take it.

Tim Daoust just took the DE/OLB job at ECU. He probably nudged Haji-Badri towards WMU?

Would be nice to see WMU more active in the transfer portal...on the incoming vs departing side of it.

We will probably see quite a bit more as the spring approaches.

This looks like a nice pickup. He had 146 receptions 2,148 yards and 12 TDs in his career at Chattanooga, the majority of his stats coming in his sophomore and junior years. They only played one game this season.

2-time all-SoCon first team selection. Academic All-American as a mechanical engineering major.

That is a good pickup. Heck, he's even getting a little NFL buzz.

I don't mean to be negative, but I'd be shocked if we can hold onto him.

What are you talking about? He signed his NLI. He's a '21 recruit and should be on campus next week.
