'13 NJ DE Alquadin Muhammad (Miami Verbal) - Page 25 - Irish Envy

Agreed, I like him at DE at ND... but we have plenty of quality OLBs

If you've actually seen Muhammad then know he's not built like Tuitt, he can't put on 70 lbs and keep his freakish speed and quickness.

He's not a 3-4 DE, AM is without question a 4-3 DE that would play at about 255-265 lbs and in ND's 3-4 he's a fit at CAT OLB not DE.

He will start out at CAT, but he has the body type to be around 285, thus a DE.

ND does have plenty of OLB but that's what AM is in 3-4 defense, watch him play and you see a kid who's game is very similar to Jadeveon Clowney rather than KLM or Tuitt or just about any 3-4 DE.

Muhammad is not a need in this class, he's a want because he's a special talent and the fact that ND already has 3 OLB commits in this class in Smith, Randolph and Mattingly.

I disagree completely that he can get up to 285 or bigger without sacrificing his athleticism, speed and quickness.

What I've seen of him over the last year or two is that he's a true a 4-3 DE as there is and that is vastly different position than a 3-4 DE and I just have to agree to disagree on this one because I don't see it at all.

I refer you to the height and weight of this young man:

I'm sure Kap and Kona would have been faster and more athletic had they statyed thinner!

It's a balancing act. You don't need to be quite as quick if you are 285.

We NEED another Dlineman in this class.
