Talk about a 1-2 punch.
Over the past two weeks, the Buffalo football team lost its two top recruits in quarterback Max Bortenschlager and linebacker Tyreek Williams, both three-star recruits. Bortenschlager bolted for Maryland and Williams took up an offer from Rutgers after decommiting from UB.
Understandable for both players. Maryland is in the Big Ten Conference and Williams simply took the better offer and opted to stay closer to home. Whatever rhyme or reason for their departures, what’s done is done. Buffalo’s top two recruits in the 2016 class are no longer set to wear the blue and white.
