One of the offseason’s top under the radar prospects committed to Boise State.
<strong>Ahmed Hassanein</strong> from Loara (Anaheim) also had offers from Duke, Fresno State, Kansas and Northern Colorado.
<a href="https://prepredzone.com/2020/10/prospect-spotlight-loara-dt-ahmed-hassanein/">He was a CrossFit athlete in Egypt</a> before moving to America two years ago and becoming a football star at Loara playing for his brother <strong>Cory Besch</strong> and head coach <strong>Mitch Olson</strong>.
Hassanein’s brother Besch played with Boise State defensive line coach Spencer Danielson at Azusa Pacific, which helped played a role in Ahmed’s commitment.
"My older brother played a big role in the decision and he was on the call with me yesterday as well. He really liked the fit for me at Boise State and I know a lot of that was because of his relationship with coach Spencer," Hassanein told Greg Biggins of 247Sports. "Coach Spencer is a great guy and we talked every day. It wasn’t even just about football, he’s someone I felt comfortable enough that I could talk to him about anything. Boise State is such a great school for developing players like me."
He is the second defensive player from California in Boise State’s recruiting class, joining <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="25116" first="Marco" last="Notarainni"]</strong> of Torrey Pines. Hassanein is the third lineman from California in the Boise State class with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="25080" first="Jason" last="White"]</strong> of Orange Lutheran and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="25095" first="Mason" last="Randolph"]</strong> of Yorba Linda.
