'11 CA CB Josh Atkinson (Signed Notre Dame LOI)

[GBdomer]

Kid got his degree and represented ND well. I'm sure his career didn't pan out like we hoped and he hoped but he never quit or compained. You got a ND degree you will be just fine young man.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Yeah, if you didnt read the short write-up we had, he was planning on going to Cal, but that fell through, so he ended up at at AP.

Not exactly what he wanted, but he will get to end his career playing football and thats what matters to most of these guys.

Any news on Rabasa? Jalen Brown?

 

[ResLife Hero]

tbh I thought this was an Onion article at first. Wth is Asuza Pacific University?

Everything from A-Z in the USA! Also the last city I saw a shooting in lol. It certainly isn't a top-flight transfer location, but, as others have mentioned, they have churned out a few decent athletes in a couple sports over the years.

Really doubt either will be back, especially Brown

Not what I meant.

They obviously would have been with the team for spring practice if they were even going to be considered for a fifth year, ala Chase Hounshell.

I meant has there been any news about either of them playing a fifth year at a different school.

I could have sworn I read Rabasa chose to not pursue a 5th year anywhere

I heard that he moved to San Francisco, where he prospered in dry goods.

Sat next to Josh and his dad a couple months back at lunch. He was wearing ND gear. He and his father were very nice. That's all I got.

It's hard to pin-point emotion through social messaging lol Did not get that feeling in the slightest, all good

I'll leave with this..

Almost as nuts as Blake Barnett

A couple months back Josh was an ND student getting an ND degree so why was he "nuts" for wearing ND gear?

Had no idea he was even still playing football

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Good for Josh!

 

[Old Man Mike]

Glad he's having fun. I liked Josh as he was always sunny despite NOT being the favored chip-off-the-block twin. His response after his brother would introduce himself as GAIII, would be I'm Josh Atkinson The FIRST!

[Emcee77]

These guys who invest so much in their football career and then never see the field for 4 years, I think they just reach a point where they just want to play and don't even care where or for who. Good for Josh that he got there.

 

[ACamp1900]

Def going to see him play at least once this year...

Seriously? Good for Josh if he gets drafted, but I'm surprised.

 

[CanadalovesND]

CBS Sports also has him as the #331 ranked prospect, #38 CB.

Supposedly he had a pretty good pro day. Previously he was viewed as an UDFA but lately there has been talk of 6th-7th round.

A guy who never saw the field behind some non-NFL'ers getting drafted? I'll believe it when I see it. Joe Schmidt gets drafted before he does.

A bit different of a situation, but Morgan couldn't oust Joe either...

7 rounds * 32 teams = 224 picks.

Even if you add compensatory picks... he probably still isnt getting drafted.

Actually, probably not. Measurables are a factor here. Joe only stood out when not considering those.

Josh Atkinson took his own life on Christmas.

RIP

 

[NDRock]

Wow. So sad.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Wow was there something wrong with him
