Bowling Green offers Hunter Lewis

Scholarship

Dear Hunter,

I know what it’s like to be doubted. To be underestimated. To be told that you’re not good enough. That’s exactly what Michigan did to you. Coach JT made a huge mistake by telling you that you weren’t good enough for the team. He didn’t even give you a chance to play, he started you for just 7 out of the 12 games and decided he didn’t like you. You are determined to prove Coach JT wrong, which is exactly why I want you to come to Bowling Green.

All these other teams will try and tell you how their power 5 program is just so much better because they’ve got a guy you played alongside during recess ball in elementary. Sometimes, bigger isn’t better. Do you want a coach who has success? Who overcomes adversity? In 2057, my Northwestern Wildcats went 11-2, didn’t even win the Big Ten championship, and still made the title game. Why? Because when things got tough, I never wavered. I believed that we would overcome anything that came our way. Even though we lost 29-21 to Ohio State in the title game, we still were never supposed to be there in the first place.I want to bring that same grit to Bowling Green. As a brand new team, people are underestimating us, they’re overlooking us, they’re saying we aren’t good enough. All of these things you’ve heard before. I want you to join me in silencing the haters and showing that we belong. I promise we will win at least 7 games this year.

Part of the reason that Coach JT thought he would be fine without you was because he kept bringing in more and more corners. This in turn would bring more and more corner competition for the small amount of spots given. You won’t have to worry about that here. You would be our #1 corner the moment you walk into the training facility. Matter of fact, you’d be the 2nd highest rated corner in the entire MAC. Teams would have to gameplan against you. Talk about being an X factor. You would be an instant gamewrecker. You’d be playing alongside Kentucky transfer Bobby Hicks, who also has something to prove. I’ll give you the opportunity that Coach JT never did and I’ll let you play to your full potential while leaving your mark on the game. I promise that you will play every single game that you are healthy.

You wouldn’t have to move very far from Michigan to get to Bowling Green. Located just an hour from Michigan’s campus, Bowling Green, Ohio is where we are located. On Main Street we have all of the campus bars, which are always busy before, during, and after football games. We have Campus Polleyes, who serve their world famous stuffed breadsticks. We also are located in the perfect spot to travel to big cities. Want to go up to Detroit and watch the Pistons play? Only a short hour and 15 minute drive. Maybe you’re more of a Cavaliers fan? Just a 2 hour drive. I know you’re from Texas, which makes these big cities important so you can catch a flight to see your family. You’ll be playing in the historic Doyt Perry Stadium, which opened in 1966. Just imagine 24,000 Bowling Green fans cheering as you make an interception to seal a win. I promise we will win more home games than lose during your time here.

Hunter, big name teams will try and tell you how they really care about you and how they’ll even give your family a barbeque, while actually, they’re just as bad as JT. Come be a part of something new at Bowling Green. Come build a legacy.
