'22 MI OLB Joshua Burnham (Notre Dame Signee)

Huge get. Congrats young man

 

[BobbyMac]

One for JB

One for Deerstand Donnie and the Walmart Weasels.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

Neat

 

[NDdomer2]

This kids just a football player through and through. Once RB, now QB, crazy.

 

[IrishLion]

That's 2 LB spots spoken for... is ND taking 3 or 4?

I know they're in a good place for 3 other highly-rated guys, so I say just take any LB that wants in and let Freeman sort it out. He can run Diaco's fabled 5-linebacker defense with ACTUAL practical application, I'm sure.

I'd guess they add two more. And we know who they are.

Yea, Junior and Cheeks. Jackson and the rest get left out. It’ll be an incredible class but man I sure love Jackson. Though something tells me I’ll be able to get over it rather quickly.

 

[irishandy]

Great pick up for the Irish!! If ND is going after 2 more LB I would go with Cheeks and Jackson. Either way a heck of a haul at LB for this class.

 

[IHateMarkMay]

Don't know if it means anything, but Anna Hickey (Clemson Insider) gave a CB for Jaylen Sneed (Hilton Head Island). It was only a four in confidence, but still.

Not going to lie I was underwhelmed by his tape. But then again keep in mind I thought Josh Barajas and Asmar Bilal would be future all-american candidates coming out of high school so my track record on linebacker predictions is mixed to say they least.

 

[Irish#1]

Excellent

I love his film. It's not your top heavy, unblocked, tackling 6 year old kids behind the line of scrimmage film. The fact that there's 30 minutes of him making plays in traffic, diagnosing plays and trusting his instincts and attacking, shedding blocks, and shredding opposing defenses as a runningback.... I'm all about it.

Yea, his film is incredible. It shows the full range of his athleticism and movement skills. All while having ideal LB size.

Congratulations to Joshua and the Burnham family! A huge accomplishment, with so much more in front of you, welcome to Notre Dame!

So he and Ziegler were born on the same day... St. Paddy's Day.

Poor MI. Never had a chance.

Thank for the link, Dub!

Burnham sneaky leader in class recruiting? Back to back weekends

 

[Crazy Balki]

Jesus H Christ. If we land the guys we're expected to land, our LB group is going to be huge. Literally.

Burnham (6'4)
Ziegler (6'4)
Junior (6'2)
Sneed (6'2)

Burnham, Junior and Ziegler can easily be at 240 by the time they take meaningful snaps. Even Sneed can get up near 230. Guy is JOK with a bigger frame.

 

[dublinirish]

man against boys lol he's bigger than his OL

Have to love small market high school sports coverage. Sounds like a nail biter, back and forth scoring, heated rivalry. 42-14.

 

[Luckylucci]

 

[BobbyMac]

He’s taller than I expected.

 

[Luckylucci]

Always a little skeptical of height. And for him and Ziegler it was those 6’4 listings but it looks like we got some solid confirmation here.

Gonna have a fresh cut this weekend for Navy

Probably flys under the radar that Burnham has been to ND a zillion times since he committed. Not a lot of recruiting weekends have happened without him.
