'06 MD LB Bani Gbadyu (Penn State signee)
Bani Gbadyu
Outside linebacker / Safety
Gaithersburg (MD) Quince Orchard
Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 205 pounds
40-yard dash: 4.52 seconds
Bench max: 275 pounds
Squat max: 405 pounds
Vertical leap: 39 inches

According to MDVarsity.com, Gbadyu is the number 11 prospect in the state of Maryland for the class of 2006. Bani has 16 offers, including from Nebraska, Oklahoma, Boston College, Michigan State, and Penn State.
Bani is originally from Liberia, but left the war-torn country as a child while his parents remained behind; his father was able to emigrate to the States five years ago, but his mother's whereabouts are unknown. A very interesting and touching story, told in great depth in the following articles:
Nebraska Rivals - part I (05/19/05)
Nebraska Rivals - part II (05/19/05)
At the recent Elite Combine, Gbadyu posted a standing broad jump of 10 feet 8 inches (camp best), a 4.62 40-yard time, and a 4.21 shuttle time.
Penn State Rivals (05/23/05)
Although he does not have a scholarship offer from Ohio State, Bani is interested in the Bucks.

bani received six new offers in the past few days as Virginia Tech, Ohio State, NC State, Oregon, Cincinnati, and Northwestern all jumped in the fray. He does not have a favorite, but calls LSU, Nebraska, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Ohio State, Boston College, NC State, and Syracuse schools of interest.
