Saw him in the second half against Tech and was really please with his limited snaps. Actually thought he played better than Jamir Jones. looking forward to see what he can do with his brother in the future.
Agree thought he played very well. And looked very quick. But, I wouldn't say he played better then Jamir Jones. He is more athletic than Jones though.

Also remember that he was the twin that people were less excited about. Those darn rankings strike again!

In those 16 snaps I have him credited with 4 run stops and a run stuff, which is a 31.3 run stop rate. An elite number is 15 percent, keep that in mind.

When we were first hearing about the twins, he was still ranked decently high as a linebacker.

This is such a huge win for the staff. They signed two brothers who'll be wreaking havoc on our DL in the years to come.

If we're going to compete, we need these kinds of recruiting wins every year.

Bump because he doesn’t get much recognition but he consistently plays well and did so tonight. 1 sack and 1.5 TFL’s. Nice game Justin

2021 starter?

It’ll be interesting because they have Foskey listed at both positions and I always thought he’d grow into a SDE. However, they like him at Vyper because they can get him into certain matchups and assignments. Regardless, he’ll play a lot as it’s clear Elston has liked him ever since he got to campus

I agree he'll play a lot. What do you think the chances are of Ogun coming back for another year. Heck, even Hayes could come back (which I doubt).

Then there's some young coming up.

Gosh, I don’t know. I would think that they go pro. I would think Ade gets into the mid to late rounds with play like this. But, I also have thought since the Clemson win that if they come up short this year, could we see the vets come back for “one last ride”. I think the chances are low but not zero.

If they don’t come back, we don’t have another SDE that’s remotely close to as established as Justin. I could see Justin and Foskey being an OR situation at SDE but playing together at times when they want Foskey stood up.

I'd love to see some of the vets come back, but I also worry that if they do, some of the younger guys may transfer out (in general, not specifically DE)... Going to be interesting. Would love to see NaNa take a big step forward.

Transferring to start somewhere else will be more complicated than in the past. Players taking another year will be happening everywhere, not just ND.

Ade, Hayes and Book all accepted invites to the senior bowl. That pretty much guarantees they gone next year.

I’d love to see Justin A start with Foskey on the other side next year.

I wouldn’t put the stamp on Book yet....

Notable he was behind Foskey today at Vyper. In the Spring he was behind MTA at Big End. Last year behind Ade at Big End, while seeing snaps at Vyper.

This pushed NaNa to 2nd Team Big End and Botelho down to Third Team.

Important? Permanent? Not sure but a subtle change with different possible reasons

They have to find way to get him and Foskey on the field together more. Throw Botelho in there as well.

I'm torn between thinking ND is letting these out a few a day building up to Foskey announcement return vs you only announce bad news on a Friday type thing.

Would ND have that much control over someone staying or going and their own twitter? Staying maybe but if you are leaving do you abide by the former teams timeline?

Yeah the players are probably handling these announcements among themselves.
