Jon McNamara of BadgerBlitz.com thinks Army may have signed two steals from the Cheese State. Here’s his take on Neenah running back/linebacker A.J. Armstrong and wide receiver Geoffery Bacon of Riverside High in Milwaukee.
McNamara of Armstrong: “Armstrong’s a kid Wisconsin was real interested in and was probably atop its recruiting board at fullback in the 2010 class. The 6-foot, 220-pound prospect moves well with the ball in his hands and is an above average lead blocker in the run game. Also a standout for Neenah at middle linebacker, Armstrong was one of the better two-player players in Wisconsin’s 2010 senior class.”
McNamara of Bacon: “Bacon flew under the radar a bit but clearly has the measurables to be productive at the next level. Still a bit raw in his route running, Bacon will benefit from working exclusively at the wide receiver position under the guidance of a college coaching staff. Could really turn into a great pickup for Army down the road.”

Army’s 2010 football signing class has a familar name.
Mike Ugenyi, the brother of Army’s 2009 co-captain Victor Ugenyi, is on board, according to goblackknights.com. The younger Ugenyi is 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds and projects as a defensive end.
West Rowan (N.C.) High signee Jon Crucitti caught a Rowan County-record 79 passes for 1,262 yards in 2009.

Position change: Kingsley Ehie
Junior Kingsley Ehie, who started 10 games at fullback in 2009, will begin spring practice at middle linebacker.
Ehie will play behind sophomore Bill Prosko and freshman Josh Powell. Starting middle linebacker Stephen Anderson continues to rehab his left knee and will miss the spring.
Ehie rushed for 473 yards (third on the team) and two touchdowns (both in the season opener) last season. He had trouble holding onto the ball, losing five fumbles.
Ehie’s move makes it clear that freshman Jared Hassin will be Army’s top fullback in the spring. Hassan sat out 2009 season due to NCAA transfer rules. Sophomore CeDarius Williams, junior Jacob Bohn and freshman Brad Gallik should also see fullback reps.
