"LSU, Tennessee, Auburn, Texas A&M and Mississippi State. They are at the top right now." back in may he said this...on visit currently at ND

 

[PANDFAN]

ND offered as a Corner, they like his length....leaving in 30mins.... His coach says that he's real pumped about the bid

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I like his length at corner also. Richard Sherman type

[rtrn2glory]

love long athletic corners.

hopefully the visit puts us in contention

 

[NDdomer2]

The length is great but at 200# already I see future safety personally.

 

[dublinirish]

kid has got to be a safety, it wouldn't make sense to take smaller guys like crawford, coleman and ashton this year then go for jumbo corners in 2016

 

[Sherm Sticky]

He is a pretty smooth athlete, I think he could stay at corner and be a Richard Sherman type player.

Deja vu for you, Sherm.

We're recruiting him at CB, real nice player. We have some opportunities with some quality DB's

 

[GBdomer]

Really like this kid as well. Seem to be going after a lot of length at DB in this cycle

That's what I'm talking about.

said that Notre Dame is on his short list of schools along with LSU, Auburn, Texas A&M and Ole Miss.

"They actually moved up in my recruitment," Vaughn said when asked about the offer. "The visit was cool, just seeing Touchdown Jesus and the campus and everything. - See more at: https://notredame.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1775793#sthash.JIFzPOS5.dpuf

"It meant a lot because usually they don't recruit [Tennessee] so that was cool," Vaughn said.

When asked what he liked about each school in his top five, Vaughn gave a few words on each program.

Notre Dame — "I was kind of expecting [them to offer] on the visit, but I love Notre Dame."

Texas A&M — "I talk to [defensive coordinator] John Chavis and I don't know, I just kind of have a thing for Texas A&M."

LSU — "LSU it's DBU .. What can you not like about it?"

Auburn — "Me and [assistant coach] Tim Horton talk a lot and we have a good relationship."

Ole Miss — "They have been recruiting me for a while now, and it's kind of close."

 

[CanadalovesND]

Loy with the CB.

 

[Cali_domer]

Four star, do not want.

 

[yankeeND]

Would be stoked with this pick-up. Is he a legit 6'3"?

 

[Irish YJ]

"It meant a lot because usually they don't recruit [Tennessee] so that was cool," Vaughn said.

needs to change if true.

ND has 5 offers out to TN prospects this year and safety Ikenna Okeke is near the top of most people's want list so they work it, just less than other states. It's an SEC state, even with Memphis being an AAC school, it's surrounded by SEC in every direction

ND does a good job of recruiting in it's footprint with Texas being the only real outlier but everyone recruits Texas, Florida and California. You have no choice.

source recently Inside The Gug that feels confident Notre Dame leads , Spoke to a second source close to Vaughn's camp this morning that stated the same. "Notre Dame is definitely on top for him."

per loy and reasoning behind his CB...he also is returning to visit july 17 and 18...stated we have been on him hard since offering

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Really hope we can add him to the secondary.

 

[TheChosen1]

Will release top 8 on July 5th. Hopes to commit somewhere in October.

 

[Fbolt]

wish he was a 3 star

Per Loy, ND leads

 

[Rack Em]

4 without a Michigan State offer?

Fuck that get out.

 

[ThePiombino]

Per Loy, ND leads

Hard to imagine anyone leads for a kid with a "top-8".
