'08 IL DL Sean Cwynar (Signed LOI to ND) - Page 11 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

We aren't moving him since he stated in one of his interviews that the coaches wanted him to drop weight as opposed to gain it coming into his frosh year. I find it hard to believe that they would ask him to do that one week then switch it up within a month.

He can still kick at 280 right?...... I wish I were less serious about that....

Sean picked up a visit from Rob Ianello on Sunday and they worked out the final details so that he can be an EE. From what I've seen it's now a done deal.

Congratulations to 2008 DL commitment Sean Cwynar, of Marian Central Catholic High School in Woodstock, Ill., who just this past weekend was named Illinois "Mr. Football" for the 2007 season:

Sean Cwynar was blown away Saturday night, which is a rare sight, considering he stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 285 pounds.

The Marian Central senior lineman watched some of the IHSA state football championships and enjoyed the Class 8A game from a skybox at the University of Illinois’ Memorial Stadium. Then, at halftime, Cwynar joined Montini’s Garrett Goebel and Chicago Mount Carmel’s Steve Filer as the three nominees for the Mr. Football award.

Cwynar, who started at offensive tackle and defensive end, was named the winner of the award, given for the first time.

“I wasn’t expecting to win it,” Cwynar said. “It was cool. It’s a real big trophy. Those guys were two real good players. Just to be nominated as one of top three players, when you look at all the all-state players around the state, 20 in each class, was an honor. To be Player of the Year is just awesome.”

Cwynar also talked about his decision to graduate early from high school and enroll at Notre Dame a semester early to take part in spring practices:

“I’m excited about [enrolling early],” said Cwynar, who ranks in the top 30 of his senior class. “It was cool to get the opportunity to do that. I knew last summer [I could do it], but I had to take a religion and a Spanish class to get enough credits. I just kept it quiet, I didn’t want [graduating early] to interfere with the season.”

Cwynar was a two-way starter on Marian’s Class 5A state runner-up team in 2006 and again this season, when the Hurricanes reached the 5A semifinals. By enrolling early, Cwynar can join the Fighting Irish for spring practices. First, he will play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Jan. 6 in San Antonio.

“[Enrolling early] will give me a lot better chance to have some early playing time,” Cwynar said. “I’ll have a whole extra semester to work on everything."

Congratulations, Sean! The ND community looks forward to seeing you around campus and on the playing field.

From a Chicago Sun-Times article on 2008 DL commit and Illinois Mr. Football Sean Cwynar, who will be enrolling early at Notre Dame this coming January:

[Cwynar] carries a 4.2 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale and ranks No. 25 in his class.

Sheesh. Most of football players I knew in high school would have been lucky to pull in a 2.4. Where does ND find these kids?

The article also mentions that linebacker commits Darius Fleming and Steve Filer were named with Cwynar to the Illinois All-State team. Congratulations to all three of them!

yeah i was such a slacking waste of space in highschool because I knew I had no college football and community college in my future.

Rivals is slacking in getting Sr. highlight footage up this year. I wanna see why Cwynar got Illinois player of the year award.
