Coach Mike Neu just added a big commitment to the 2017 Ball State class with Linebacker Shahid Reece. Reece announced his commit today (via: Twitter) Reece just received his full ride scholarship to Ball State just three days ago, and he’s been excited ever since.
“I felt comfortable with Coach Curtis, knowing he’s a New Orleans guy himself, and so is coach Neu so I know they will be able to relate with me a lot. I also know at Ball State it’s the best place for me to excel as a Student Athlete.”
