'08 CA TE Joseph Fauria (Signed LOI to ND) - Page 7 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

It's nice to have some of these guys because ND now building up quality depth that a player Fauria's ability won't be counted on for a couple of years allowing to build and shape his body and game into the best it can be before being counted on.

It's nice to read something like this, someone who has absolutley no idea when they're going to commit and days later they do....

NEWSFLASH: FAURIA SCHOLARSHIP TO NOTRE DAME
Junior Tight End Joseph Fauria gave a verbal commitment to play football for the University of Notre Dame. Fauria and his mother, Julie, recently made an unofficial visit to Notre Dame and attended the Blue/Gold Spring Football game for the Irish. While on campus, Joseph met with Coach Charlie Weis who offered Fauria a scholarship last week. Fauria gave his commitment to be a member of the Irish football team in 2008 on Saturday, April 21. Fauria was a first-team All-Serra League selection this past season and is considered by Scout.com as a Top-15 tight end in the country. Fauria also had offers from UCLA, LSU, Stanford, Nebraska, Colorado, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Oregon.

He's not as talented as Rudolph but will get there with time he's big too 6-9 man. He's gonna be a red zone threat I think. Charlie got himself a pair of great TE's.

he's actually not 6-9. mike frank did an interview with him on power hour a few weeks back and fauria claimed that not to be his height. i think he said he was 6-7, but you'd have to listen to find that out for sure.

Yeah he stated on Power Hour weeks ago he was definently not 6-8 or 6-9, but that he was 6-7 maybe 6-7 1/2. Everyone sleeps on him because he's in the shadow of Rudolph. But let me tell you this, he plays a very tough schedule and watching his film I noticed A) If the kid can get low and block that good on HS undersized lineman im pretty sure he can get under 6-5 D-Ends in college. B) Catches everything that comes his way (On others having seen him and evaluated him say he's got Glue hands.) and not on film observation... C) Has a great ND attitude and work ethic.

Irishknight1023 I completely agree and with all the talent that ND has at TE they can take there time with him. He's got insanely good hands and has good not great speed but has great footwork. Time is on his side to toughen up and get stronger but he's a guy that everybody expects to get taller and bigger and while he most likely will never be in the class of talent of Reuland, Ragone and Rudolph but he will be a damn good player that will be a Red Zone monster.
