BOWLING GREEN — Running back Ra’veion Hargrove announced he will transfer from Bowling Green State University.
Hargrove served as Bowling Green’s primary kick returner and change-of-pace running back as a true freshman last season. Injuries held Hargrove out of four games, but he still finished third on the team with 670 all-purpose yards.
He rushed 33 times for 117 yards and accounted for two touchdowns on the season, one rushing and one receiving.
However, BG returned all of its top running backs for what is likely the deepest position group on the team. Starter Andrew Clair and fellow running backs Bryson Denley and Rico Frye, the top three leaders in carries, are all back this season.
Hargrove, who starred at Trotwood-Madison, was a three-star recruit coming out of high school.
He rushed for more than 7,000 yards as a prep player and finished in the top 10 in Ohio history, winning the Gatorade player of the year for Ohio as a senior.
Bowling Green signed the 5-foot-6 running back over offers from a host of Mid-American Conference rivals.
Upon transferring, Hargrove will be forced to sit out for the 2019 season. He has three years of eligibility remaining.
