This kid is a total ND Recruiting Coup. I mean it. I talked to several who have seen him in the flesh and believed the only reason he wasn't a top nationally ranked recruit is because he is just going into his junior year.

This kid will blow up this year.

And you know the two most interesting things about him. He is actually being actively recruited by D1 defenses to play at all three levels : rush end, outside linebacker, and strong safety! This must influence the strength of his offer list , currently.

The kid is 6'3" and a legitimate 210 as of this spring. He has that scary explosiveness. And decent strength.

So the one thing that is interesting about this kid is his incredible versatility (hats off to the staff again!) The other thing is his effect on linebacker commitments in the '18 class. As of now the staff can watch the kid from Pa, the kid from In, and the kid from Toledo, (who is getting daily calls from Urban Meyer.)

Welcome to the family Ovie!!

Hats off to this staff, they are doing a great job on the recruiting trail, hopefully they can end on a bang for the 2017 class, and continue for the 2018 class. Love this coaching staff!

That's reassuring news. ND needs these kids to recruit their buds on the D side of the ball big time. A great year to bring in studs who want to play-plenty of holes to fill.

All recruit bumps will be subsequently causing heart palpitations until NSD. Thanks, Obama!

The D Zone: The D Zone 2017 Pre-Season, Class of 2018 Recruiting Rankings, #1-5

3. Farmington Hills Harrison 2018 OLB/DE "ATH" Ovie Oghoufo
Overview: The Notre Dame commit is a jack of all traits for the Harrison Hawks. Oghoufo possesses game-changing abilities on both sides of the ball. On defense, Oghoufo is just as dominant as a down lineman at DE or as an OLB and then he doesn't skip a beat on offense as a receiver. Oghoufo committed to Notre Dame over 19 other schools.

Analysis:
Jeff Corrion - "At this point in time, it appears the best fit on the next level for Oghoufo is OLB, as his 6'3" 210 lbs-ish size is an ideal fit, but he very well could develop into a DE. What makes Oghoufo so special is athletism to allow us to have these debates of where he'll dominate at in the future."

Evan Paputa - "Oghoufo is an ultra-athletic outside linebacker that moves really well from sideline to sideline. He has above average coverage skills that are safety-esque."

Branden Hunter - "From first glance, Oghoufo does not look like a linebacker. He still has a slim build, but is a sideline to sideline player, and will come up and hit you. As athletic as a linebacker you will see,"

A quality addition to the 18' class. A lot of growth in front of this young man. The defensive class for 18' has a really nice foundation, interested to see where Elko goes with the rest of it.

With what I think what the rover position is supposed to be and do, Ovie would be a great rover IMO

I think there is a lot of growth left for Ovie, physically. So, I'd probably side with Buck or WDE, as more likely, but Rover could happen as well.

More excited for Ovie than his rankings suggest.
