Bowling Green transfer wide receiver duo of "CJ and OJ" thinking big ahead of 2022 season

BOWLING GREEN — They’ve been a hot topic in Bowling Green camp, with a collective nickname so catchy it almost seems divinely inspired.

“CJ and OJ” — or, alternately, “OJ and CJ” — are senior wide receivers CJ Lewis and Odieu Hilaire, two new additions to the Falcons for 2022.

“OJ is a great receiver, and CJ is as well,” senior safety Chris Bacon said. “They’re both great route runners. They both practice really hard.”

They are both transfers, and that might be where the similarity ends. Lewis is a Power Five product who spent parts of four seasons at Boston College; Hilaire was a star in the FCS who helped Alabama A&M to a 7-3 record in the fall of 2021.
