Recently graduated wide receiver Freddie Barnes will return to BGSU on Wednesday to be honored at halftime of the men's basketball game against Kent State.

Former quarterback Tyler Sheehan will also be on hand.

Not only will the University be honoring two of the best football players to play at BGSU, Barnes will also receive the College Football Performance Award's 2009 Elite Wide Receiver Award.

Barnes had an NCAA-record 155 receptions for 1,770 yards and 19 touchdowns during the 2009 season and set numerous school and Humanitarian Bowl records.

Sheehan also set many school records in 2009 after posting 4,051 yards and 27 touchdowns on 373-of-575 passing. He threw just seven interceptions in 13 games.

BG co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Shannon Morrison has taken a job with Memphis, according to SID Dave Meyer. Morrison just completed his second season with the Falcons.

BG football coach Dave Clawson received Letters of Intent from 25 players today, who he introduce at a 4 p.m. press conference.

According to BGSU Sports Information Director Dave Meyer, Fredde Barnes will not be going to this weekend's Senior Bowl. It was reported yesterday that Barnes may be getting an invite to the game and Barnes himself confirmed the call via his Twitter. 

I'm in Mobile, Alabama this week with www.sidelinescouting.net covering the Senior Bowl. I was initially interested in giving updates about the MAC guys in attendance (Dan LeFevour and Taylor Price) but am excited to break the news that Freddie Barnes may be added to the roster.

At the North team's practice today, one of my fellow colleagues and BG student overheard a phone call in which the recipient was urged to get Barnes to the Senior Bowl. It was later confirmed in a phone call with Barnes himself that he was invited this afternoon and may attend.

Barnes has been a hot topic so far this week. Several scouts have commented on the fact that Barnes was not invited. Receiver Taylor Price from Ohio University is one of two MAC players here and has been solid, but has not stood out in any way. The addition of Barnes to the roster would be a huge boost for the North squad, Bowling Green athletics and Freddie's draft stock.

Dan LeFevour was the other MAC invite at the Senior Bowl. He measured in at 6'3" 229 lbs at weigh-ins and has shown good arm strength and accuracy this year. He is playing behind Tony Pike at quarterback for the North this week, but has looked fairly solid.

I will be giving updates as the week progresses. Hopefully I'll be seeing Freddie Barnes represent BGSU here in Mobile. Roll along!

Freddie Barnes had just one catch in the first three quarters of the East/West Shrine Game this afternoon, but his three catches in the final two minutes of the game helped seal the game for the East.

Catching three straight passes from Mike Kafka, Barnes gained 29 yards during a 55-yard drive for the East that ended with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Quarless, giving the East a 13-10 lead with six seconds left in the game.

Barnes was the second option on that play, according to the East's offensive coordinator, who was interviewed by ESPN before the play.

In total, Barnes had four grabs for 40 yards.

During the ESPN2 broadcast, it was mentioned that Barnes was not invited to the NFL Combine, but the analysts said they thought Barnes would get drafted in the late rounds because of his ability to catch the ball.

Barnes almost thrilled scouts by catching a touchdown but strong defense from the West forced an incompletion.

According to BGSU Sports Information Director Dave Meyer, neither BG coach Dave Clawson or Athletic Director Greg Christopher have been contacted about the coaching vacancy at Eastern Carolina University.

Middle Tennessee coach Rick Stockstill has turned down an offer to fill Eastern Carolina's coaching vacancy according to a report by the Daily Reflector.  According to FootballCoachScoop.com BG coach Dave Clawson interviewed with ECU athletic director Terry Holland and is still a possible candidate for the job.

Football coach Dave Clawson spoke with the media this afternoon. He spoke about relationships with players, recruiting, Freddie Barnes and even a little bit on his former player Tim Hightower. Click the link below to listen to the entire press conference.
