I think the kids will shine this week. Vastly underrated prospect due on competition level and playing out of position for years to help his team win.

Correct, he's not an early enrollee.

Having a very good day according to Scout. Also named an AmFam all USA New York team.

Sherm Sticky · Dec 31, 2015

Any updates on how he is doing today.

Probably my choice for most underrated recruit in this class.

I think Jamir will really impress people as a linebacker, and that he will stay at that spot/not grow into a DE.

In that article, Scout refers to Khalid Kareem as a running back.

I'm telling you all this kid has great instincts, is athletic and competes. Going to be a star.

Jamir Jones stands out at Semper Fi

Notre Dame commitment Jamir Jones made a positive impression on the first day of practice for the Semper Fi All-American Bowl.

Three-star linebacker Jamir Jones hoped to use the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl to showcase his talents on the national stage.

The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder from Rochester, N.Y., didn’t wait for the game, which will be played at the StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., on Jan. 3. He introduced himself to his teammates with a pick-six and several other big plays during the first day of practice on Wednesday.

“I was in man-to-man (coverage) on the back and as I was running to the flat the quarterback tried to throw a hitch behind me,” Jones said. “I stopped and picked it off.”

Jones drew rave reviews from the Scout.com national analysts on site for his aggressive and physical style of play.

“Practice has been very fun,” Jones said. “The coaches push you just to try your best and learn the scheme. They let us use our own technique though. I just want to get better every day. With all the talent out here I feel like that will push me to keep up and be on my game at all times. I want to represent for my hometown and Notre Dame.”

For Jones competing against many of the nation’s top high school football seniors would be a measuring stick for where he is at prior to heading to South Bend.

His performance on Day 1 provided a boost to his confidence.

“I think I was definitely able to compete with all the talent we had,” he said. “I felt comfortable and able to play my game. I’m just looking forward to competing and representing.”

Four-star running back Khalid Kareem, another Notre Dame commitment, also is participating in the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl.

I wish he was an EE. I think the extra time with the staff would pay huge dividends

Is there any chance he gets a look at tight end now that Luatua is gone?

He's 6'2, 200lbs according to the front page and you wonder if he gets a look at TE? Why not try the long snapper? Or CJ Sanders?

Seriously, we still have Smythe, Alize, Weishar (possibly Hounshell with a 6th?) and two bosses coming next class.

I know we'd ideally have 4 every year but we have three really good TE prospects with a possible 4th. I see no reason to move a player unless they outgrow their current position. I think Jones still needs to grow into an OLB if his stats are accurate.

6'3 231 on 247. There's no way he got offered at 200 pounds.

It may be an overreaction on my part, but Jamir is an athlete and hasn't settled into a single position. He played all over the place on his HS team. I'm just excited for his future.

I believe the guys at ISD think he could be a stud at TE.

Personally I want him on defense. Kid is super athletic, smart and a hard worker. He dominated the Semper game. Kid could be a star at Sam

I suppose it's possible. But which side of the ball is a higher priority right now, do you think?

Mike Frank thinks he's a TE too, be interesting to see if he gets a shot there. I remember when Bonner signed too folks thought he might be a good TE also

I think Mike specifically thinks that. General consensus is that he'll get a good, hard look at D first and foremost.

RDU Irish · Feb 5, 2016

Claypool at TE before Jamir. Good to hear is athleticism and smarts are in demand. Seems he may still be growing into his body to boot so who knows what he will look like in a year or two.

Mike literally compared him to Shannon Sharpe haha. I'd love that comparison to ring true.

6'3 seems short for a TE. And I don't know if he's athletic enough to compete with our current roster. Would he be able to outcompete our 2 TEs in 17?

I won't say it's impossible but I'd really like to see Jamir used on the other side. Our defense needs help but I'll trust the coaches to put him where he can excel.

While most of our TEs are 6'4", they range from 6'2" and up. Not sure why 6'3" would be a problem. I agree that I'd rather have him on defense though, the more bodies over there the better.

Jamir Jones - LB // Signing Day 2016

"We have been familiar with Jamir for a number of years due to the recruitment of his older brother Jarron. Jamir excels at multiple sports and will play linebacker for us. He comes from a winning program and I am confident Jamir will be successful both on and off the field." - BK

40% of players on the current roster were targeted for a different position than the currently play. I wouldn't read too much into that quote.

NDPhilly · Feb 6, 2016

I want him at SAM. He looks like one Alabama's LBs
