The speed burner from South Jersey is a legit home run hitter on the gridiron possessing legit 4.3 forty speed in football backed up by a sizzling 10.6 100 meter times in track and field. He will be a threat to take the top off a defense every time he steps on the field.

His Junior season saw Bo account for over 1,700 all purpose yards and 27 TD’s and being honored as the South Jersey Player of the Year.

Bo has a terrific athletic pedigree as his brother Gary Jr. just concluded his collegiate football career for Delaware State and his father Gary Sr. starred at Rutgers from 89’ - 91’. I suppose I should give our awesome readers a comparison to a former Knight so here goes nothing . … . reminds me of former Scarlet Knight Gary Melton Sr !!
