| I love what this kid brings to the table - aside from the fact that he's chiseled. He's got a family pedigree for football success, which isn't a half bad place to start. That in mind, he is a guy that - to someone who isn't an expert - looks like he plays very fast, is a terrific hitter, and is very apt at sifting through garbage to make the tackle.
To me? If he's coachable, he'll be as good as gold for this defense. Physically it's all there and then some. Whatever shortcomings are derived from pass coverage or things of that nature can be addressed with time. I know we're excited about the more recent verbals, but this guy is definitely one of my favorite gets, and just looks like an ideal linebacker prospect for ND. I'd be very disappointed if he followed his Dad's footsteps to USC... luckily there are no worries about that. |
