“I am officially closing my recruiting and committing to continue my academic and football career at Bowling Green State University,” Pabst wrote in part. “I’m going to the moon! Go Falcons!”

Pabst chose Bowling Green over fellow Mid-American Conference schools Akron, Kent State, Ball State, and Miami, and he held offers from Vanderbilt and Pittsburgh.

Loeffler teased the recruitment Tuesday afternoon on Twitter, hours after the Falcons earned the recruitment of athlete Dequan Stanley. The 5-foot-10, 156-pounder held offers from MAC rival Akron and Maryland of the Big Ten.

“Thank you coaches from Bowling Green for y’all recruiting me as hard as possible,” Stanley wrote in part. “everyday y’all been on my tail since the beginning. This is big for me, I feel blessed to be here. Thank y’all so much.”
