'21 OH TE Mitchell Evans (Notre Dame Signee)

[NDMatt91]

The TE room, RB room, and WR room will be deep and loaded next year that’s why you need to bring in a transfer QB. Hopefully Fischer comes back that way I’d feel much better about OL. I think Billy S takes a guard spot, Fischer moves back to left tackle and right tackle is Jagusah

If Zeke doesn't come back I wouldn't be surprised to see Billy or Coogan move to Center.

Yeah I guess Zeke would have 1 more year

they are quite high on craig too

Yeah, Craig is supposed to be good and he's got a HUGE leg up on Billy or Coogan.

IF coogan and spindler keep improving, it will be tough to overtake them, especially with their gained experience.

I can see this. Coogan was thought of as a potential center when he signed. Craig was been with the second team and the staff likes him.

At some point, there will need to be a spot for Schrauth is he can firmly entrench himself as a starting caliber player next season.

Question is who is our LT next year?

Blake Fisher

Amil, Charles will likely give Blake a battle.

They should be competing for RT…

I assume it was tosh baker wearing 85 first drive on Saturday? He didn’t look good, again

Yes 247 confirmed that Baker played some snaps with a TE #.

He's slow. I don't think there's much we can expect from now on to change.

Completely agree, so the competition next year should be for the tackle spot opposite fisher

 

[T-Boone]

Mitch Evans will go into the draft this year I think.

Mitch Evans will go into the draft this year I think.

curious why you think that? He won't have his degree most likely, and he won't be a high draft pick

 

[CanadalovesND]

Mitch Evans will go into the draft this year I think.

He is a NFL player for sure, but a leaving a year early would be a mistake.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Agreed. It isn't a premium position in the League right now. Four years in a row only one TE has been taken on Day 1. Hard to see that changing in 2024 from where we sit going into October. Maybe, but I doubt it.

Evans would need to have a monster couple of months here headed into the second half of the season.

 

[Riddickulous]

Absolute stud

 

[Plankton]

Evans was humongous tonight. Almost no passing game without him. He's developing very nicely.

 

[BabyIrish]

Better than Michael Mayer

 

[Riddickulous]

In the two biggest games of the year so far he has 13 catches for 209 yards

 

[Wild Bill]

Great hands. Playing his ass off. Hope his ankle is good.

 

[MacIrish75]

If any of you saw this coming I’m calling bullshit, but I’m here for it.

Hey Carter Nelson…you watching?

 

[Junkhead]

Better than Michael Mayer

Let's not get crazy.

 

[NDFAN2008]

He’s gonna be one of if not the best TE in college next year

 

[tko]

Love seeing this kid explode!

 

[Lberry]

MVP. Won the game for us.

 

[CTIDANDREW]

Just an incredible performance from this young man.
An Ohio native with no offers from OSU or Michigan and our staff took a chance on him and it delivered big time.
I wish we could clone his heart and put it in Merriweather's body...because boy could he use it.

 

[Southside Sully]

Kids has such soft hands

 

[Junkhead]

He isn't very fast, but has great hands. Dude has made up for mediocre WR play 2 games in a row. He's much better than I expected at this point.

 

[PutuporShutup]

Phenomenal game… he needs to get healthy

Did he go down? If so I missed it.
