Surprised there wasn't a thread on him already, but a huge high school WR that projects to a flex TE for ND. Offered last night per BGI.

Has visited ND before and Irish are in the top group. Vandy leads early per Wiltfong.

 

[Ironman8]

Not too often you see tunnel screens to a TE prospect. I really like this kid.

Sean Mele on ISD believes ND will take 2 TEs this year, and I hope at least one of Blazevich, Luatua, and Bunting signs.

 

[Ironman8]

Will visit ND again April 13th per 24/7.

 

[STLDomer]

He's a Core 6 guy

 

[NDPhilly]

Similar build to other offered flex TE like Mark Andrews and Nick Weishar.

 

[texbender]

Keep those TE's coming. ND is as renowned with TE's as PSU with LB's. The success of ND TE's in the NFL says it all.

 

[GBdomer]

Still really want Mark Andrews and Jeb.

 

[BeauBenken]

Love jumbo athletes. And when was the last time you heard some ACDC on a recruit's video?

 

[Rack Em]

Yep, those have been my 2 as well.

I can't stand that song. Have to turn it on mute the most overrated song of all time. I want to scream every time I hear it.

 

[Ricochet]

Mark Andrews is not being recruited as a TE. He's being recruited as an out and out WR.

ND is better in my view. Who was the last great PSU linebacker?

Poz?

 

[NDPhilly]

Navarro Bowman is pretty damn good. Sean Lee also was good before hurt. Dan Conner, Josh Hull, Paul Pozluzny, and Lavarr Arrington.....

This. Matt Millen, Gregg Buttle, Shane Conlan etc.

He will grow into a TE.

 

[Ironman8]

He will grow into a TE.

Tell him that.

 

[IrishLion]

He will grow into a TE.

I hope not, I would like to see a pure WR on the outside with 6-6 height.

 

[GBdomer]

Tell him that.

Dude has about a 100 pounds on me, I couldn't scare a goldfish if I tried.

But how does he not remind you of Tyler Eifert? I read one mod said ND sees him as a WR/TE

He said recently no school is recruiting him as a TE, all WR

Though in my personal opinion think he is a WR/TE like Bunting and Weishar

Oh he definitely is in that mold, but he just thinks right now he is going to stay at WR. He could eventually be a Joe Jurevicius type WR if he doesn't bulk up. I'll take him at ND either way, because he would be split out the majority of the time either way.

Another one of those 'sign now, worry about position later' type of player.

I'm picking up what your putting down. Joe Jurevicius very well done there. I want him at ND if he keeps growing move him to TE, if he keeps his frame and all that leave him at WR. I just think he would be an unreal mismatch at TE.

I like Ironman dropping the Joe Jurevicius name on us. Nice change of pace from the usual Ed McCaffrey, Wes Welker, Eric Decker comparisons.

I loved it. When I was a kid I was in love with that Buccaneer team. There still my second favorite team in the NFL. Have a Ronde Barber, KeyShawn Johnson, Warren Sapp, Alsott jersey.

I was so mad when he left the Giants. I loved him on that team.

Ohio state offered

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Per 24/7, apparently had a top 3 of Oregon, ND and Vandy but now that OSU offered he realized it is, "too early to rank schools."
