Mike Neu landed his first commitment for the class of 2017 on Monday afternoon. However, this "neu" era has not started with just any recruit, coach Neu has reeled in a 3-star recruit to get this recruiting class started with a bang.
TE Peyton Hendershot chose the Cardinals over reported offers from Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Illinois State, Miami, Syracuse, and Western Michigan.
The fact that Ball State is showing an ability to recruiting against programs such as Cincinnati and Syracuse is a promising sign for the Cardinal's fan base.
Hendershot currently plays both defensive end and tight end in high school, however he seems to project well at tight end in college.
