Yep, and we didn't get it quite right either initially. Quite reasonably we decided that he needed a season to grow. Then we had all of that ridiculous trouble at Left Tackle with injury after injury plus some lack-of-readiness by the then third-stringer. A few games into the season, and we (near desperation) put the "allegedly too young" Joe Alt in there, and he instantly solved the problems.

While he was somewhat of a late bloomer he wasn't that lite. He left HS in the 280-290 range. As a HS Junior he was already up to 260+. He played his entire Senior year as a legitimate OT prospect. 247 took notice and gave him a meaningful bump. Others just didn't.
This article is May of 2020 where his Dad says he's at 260.
From TE to OT, Joe Alt Following Familiar Path
Two-time Pro Bowl tackle John Alt began his college career at tight end, much like the path his son is now following. And on Friday, his son was offered by Notre Dame.

247 which did update his eval after his Senior season had him at 283.

Really, really makes no sense in retrospect. He was 6’7” his senior year and his dad is in the Chiefs HOF as a LT. Not saying he should’ve been a 5 star, but still.

What this really should be saying to us is that our staff was right on.

I saw him walking around campus with Joe Rudolph. Rudolph is a big man and Alt absolutely dwarfed him.

I'd make sure we're paying this guy enough. If Diggs follows Buchner to Alabama...
Huh?
His father was an all-pro OL in the NFL who specifically wanted his son at ND & they have plenty of money.

Is Diggs thinking Bama? If so my feelings about their OC moves to loathing.

Doubt it. Some people are so invested in Rees that they assume everyone else is as well. I'd say Diggs heads back home.

It's Big Game Boomer, but every once in awhile he gets it right. Alt at #1, Fisher at #8.

NIL and OLU is what got Hartman to ND.

We know that this guy got it right on Alt, and we have happy thoughts that he hopefully has it right on Fisher.
If Fisher has the McGlinchey "jump", or even the Eichenberg "jump" between seasons, Sam I Am will have the best protector brackets in the business. Still, keep your fingers crossed on the Fisher jump.

Fish will make the jump IMO. He’s already dropped some weight.

The last I saw was Alt going 4th or 6th in next years NFL draft, he will make plenty in the NFL. In my opinion I don't think NIL is the biggest deal for Alt.

I used to be a big Alt fan. No mustard on that dog? He is dead to me…
That’s why it wasn’t a 10.

That’s a hot take, mate
Brock Bowers love is a little ridiculous too.
Mayer had more catches, yards & TDs last year, and was a much better blocker, all while be double & triple covered & everyone knew that’s where the ball was going, while Bowers was always 3rd option…but people still have Bowers all the rewards.

I only really follow the ND players in the NFL, how is Kyle Pitts going in the NFL? Are he and Brock Bowers similar?
