'08 CA TE Joseph Fauria (Signed LOI to ND) - Page 12 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

**Denny** · 10-16-2007, 04:47 PM

Now rivals has totally removed him from the tight end rankings and list him as the 20th best O tackle prospect. Is there anything to this because it doesn't seem like just a screw up anymore?

If anyone remembers didn't Mark Levoir come in as a tight end but end up as an offensive lineman?

Scout lists Jonathan Balwdin as a TE. I believe he said that anyone who recruits him as a TE is off the list; he wants to be a WR.

On 9/14/07, Rivals wrote the following story covering tight ends:

Joseph Fauria
6-8, 250, Encino (Calif.) Crespi

Gotta like this size. He really looks tall on tape. Like all young, tall kids, he needs to learn how to bend his knees more consistently. Needs strength. Is more of a "position" blocker at this stage of his career. Needs to be more consistent catching with hands and not let balls into body. Has all the tools and should be able to get stronger and faster as he matures. May have as much "down the road" potential as any. Verbally committed to Notre Dame.

However ND uses him, I doubt they would have decided now and let rivals know. I think its gotta be a mistake.

ND recruited him as a tight end. They recruit tight ends in a 2-1-2-1 format. This recruiting class they got 2 with him and Kyle Rudolph.

I just noticed that as well. I guess we'll have to wait and see....

Fauria was clear in saying he wasn't going to play OT at ND a few months back.

This may be completely off the topic, but is there a way for a OT to become an eligible receiver? I swear I have seen a lineman go unnoticed and catch a TD pass before... Not that Fauria should switch, he is a great TE, but knowing Charlie's propensity to use the trickeration....
