Teammate of ILB target David Adams. Visiting together on Junior Day. Here's a Scout freebie by Brian Dohn from yesterday:

Penn State, Notre Dame, Pitt, Ole Miss, Baylor on DT Kurt Hinish's schedule - Football Recruiting - Scout

He looks lighter than 285, but has a pretty quick first step. Another JJ Watts possibly?

I was thinking a hybrid of Dan Hampton and Howie Long but meh.... JJ's better. I'm rolling with you #1.

Here's some other pics from last season. The one with him and Adams I'd put him at 265ish.

 

[Luckylucci]

I think his hudl video says 263.

I does, just not in that order. 6-3, 280. ;-)

Have a good day Luckydysluxxia!

 

[Luckylucci]

Haha, just stepped out of a meeting and posted. I watched both his sophomore and junior films today and confused the two. His sophomore film says 265.

No worries Teddy Broosevelt... I hope no one gets to caught up with every DT's size. Let's face it, they all dwarf these guys when they arrived in South Bend.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Yea of he's got a motor that's the big thing to me

Size will come

 

[RuntheBall]

Picked up some big offers in the last week alone (Bama, UNC, ND,S. Car, PSU, Ole Miss)

Played on O-Line and D-Line (for a fantastic D) last season.

Central coaches crack that the Hinish cousins are the Vikings' version of the Hanson brothers from “Slap Shot,” minus the thick eyeglasses and tin foil wrapped around their knuckles...

ND, S.Car, PSU & Ole Miss in the last 2 weeks.

Adams got an LSU offer, not Hinish and neither have a Bama offer. Wouldn't surprise me if Adams got on from them though.

 

[Luckylucci]

Sounds like PSU will be tough to beat here. Told Rivals recently that he comes from a family of PSU fans. Grew up watching and cheering for them

Well let's just hope history repeats itself.

 

[PANDFAN]

"I was really excited about the Notre Dame offer because of all the tradition they have up there," said the 6-foot-3, 283-pound Hinish. "I used to really like Manti Te'o and I was really rooting for them in the National Championship when they lost to Alabama. I really liked Notre Dame ever since I was a kid. I used to have a Notre Dame hat that I always wore.

"I was on the phone with the North Carolina coach, Chris Kapilovic," he said. "The only thing I really know about them is that Michael Jordan went there and it’s in Chapel Hill. I know they had a pretty good year. I think they were only one game away from making it to the National Championship Playoffs."

[Irish#1]

Somebody send him a hat please.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Attended JR day this
Weekend and will announce on Monday his commitment

 

[GrangerIrish24]

Our main man Loy with the ND pick

 

[irishff1014]

Loy thinks that him and Adams sign with the same school.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

Elston just tweeted he got great news I think this ones about wrapped up

 

[OCIrish]

I read something about him and a press conference coming on Monday!!

 

[dad4aa]

Loy thinks that him and Adams sign with the same school.

Hope he is right

 

[yankeeND]

Just watched his film for the first time. If the speculation is correct, and we landed him, what a coup! Monday can't get here soon enough!

 

[Bogtrotter07]

This kid is one of the most athletic interior defensive linemen I have ever seen. Kid has the upper body strength, good base, and leg drive to play inside even a little light. Looks like another outstanding 3T to me!

I was absolutely shocked at how powerful this kid was on film. I mean, he was just absolutely destroying the linemen in front of him. If he really is 6'2 283, with the potential to get up to around 290, then we absolutely have found a steal (if we indeed locked him up). He is a stud with great all-around strength and an insane motor along with good speed. What more could you ask for from a 3T?

 

[drake29]

He's got that Louis Nix/Sheldon Day burst out of his stance at the snap. Love the mean streak. Would be a great pick up. Wrap him up with David Adams and have them flip Paris Ford and the defensive class will have a great start.

 

[arrowryan]

Not saying tho because he is white, but he kinda reminds me of Vanderdoes

I called on him, and was told he appeared to be every bit of 6'3", and that he has fairly long arms. That seems to be confirmed by pictures that are posted.

You weren't the only one! But a quick look at his transcripts are where the similarities end.

 

[NDVirginia19]

I want to know this man's squat and bench numbers, they're probably insane
