'09 FL S Zeke Motta (ND Verbal 10/9/08)

[ThePiombino]

Losing Slaughter was almost as big as losing Harrison IMO.

Definitely up there.

 

[Domina Nostra]

Who would have ever thought that losing Harrison would hurt us more than losing Floyd? No offense meant to Motta- he did a HELLUVA job this year with what he had to work with.

I think having Golson being able to spread out the field with Floyd, Eifert, Daniels, and Jones would have made up for a whole lot.

 

[IrishLax]

So when do all you guys think Zeke will be drafted?

I don't think he hurt himself too much that game.

My prediction is 3rd round.

I think 6th round because he runs an unimpressive 40 at the combine.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

IMO I think Zeke goes in the 4th.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I'm thinking 5-6th round

Undrafted Free Agent

 

[ThePiombino]

I'm thinking with the successful season Harrison Smith had this year, a couple teams might have no quams about "taking a flyer" on Motta with a late round pick.

 

[peoriairish]

Drafted by the Falcons with the 38th pick in the 7th round.

Safeties Ishmael, Motta Showing Versatility

 

[EuropeanDomer]

Starting for the Falcons.

 

[Irish Insanity]

Nice. Now is your shot. Make the best of it.

'09 FL S Zeke Motta (ND Verbal 10/9/08)

Yikes

“@vxmcclure23: Zeke Motta to go on IR with neck injury.”

“@vxmcclure23: Motta had a cervical fracture and had surgery on Sunday.”

 

[dshans]

One word: shit.

Ok, one more: Godspeed.

God Bless you Zeke! Get healed soon!

 

[GoIrish41]

He should join the recruiting staff right now. Tell these young men why an ND degree is important. He might not play in the NFL but he is set for success. He story has a compelling story to tell.

I'm a moron

Rough day.
Today is the 5 year anniversary of Matt James passing.
They were HS teammates / good friends.

Matt was from Ohio and Zeke is from Florida. I don't believe they were HS teammates.

I believe you are thinking about the former ND QB turned WR whose name escapes me right now.

yeah his old man is a successful HS ball coach in FL. Be interesting to see what path Zeke goes down now, he was always a gym guy maybe he goes down the S+C route.
