'22 SC LB Jaylen Sneed (Notre Dame Signee)

[irishu]

Can people show concern if he does transfer or will people be told, “relax bedwetters we have guys to replace him”?

Does anyone know why he barely played against Ohio State? I feel like we could of used him in obvious blitzing and 3rd down plays.

I read somewhere that they thought it was because of the personnel that Ohio state was using.

Starters should be very good, but Depth at LB isn’t great. Going to need some young guys to take major steps forward.

Ausberry, Bowen, Asa will be your starters and with guys behind being Zinter, Rezac, Kahoun, Kia, Faraimo, Sacca, and Ko’o Kia. Zinter played a goood amount this year. Kia is gonna be good. Faraimo is gonna be good enough to start and Sacca and Kia should be pushing for playing time right away. Kia had 16 tackles for loss his sensor season and 5 pass breakups

I’d put Sneed ahead of Ausberry.

Clearly you haven’t seen tweets from SEC/OSU/scUM fans on X. God knows what their message boards look like.

I’d put Sneed ahead of Ausberry.

Honestly, I see them as complimentary players. I think Sneed is a better pass rushing and can handle the run while Ausberry is better at pass coverage and can handle the run.

Huge if true. I think he starts alongside Bowen and KVA. I could easily see us playing 5 LB’s as Ausberry will continue to see a lot of snaps and Faraimo will be hard to keep off the field.

Rewatched the Penn St game last night and I thought he was great.

Sneed is the type of versatile freak athlete that Freeman and Fickle had wrecking games for UC. It just takes some time to get to the point mentally where you can keep that guy on the field at all times.

Sneed is going to make some noise nationally next year

Huge news let him line up and blitz all over

I expect 6-7 sacks he will be a round 3 pick

Must have this guy back after all the bad news since Monday at 8:00 PM.

Like I said in the other thread, Our NIL can’t be shit if him + every other starter is coming back.

More about it being shit with bringing recruits in

Great news, he was one of the at risk guys.

I find it difficult to believe that Sneed has gone up to 235 six-weeks post a 16 game season. Players tend to have trouble keeping on their initial weight during the course of a season. It anything he more than likely lost weight from his 220ish frame.

 

[NDFAN2008]

I think he’s gonna see a lot of time at Vyper

 

[Luckylucci]

I speculated last season when it looked like he wasn’t going to see the field at LB that he could gain the necessary weight (not an incredible amount needed) and play edge. But it does seem hard to believe he made that weight gain since the season ended.

 

[NDPhilly]

Maybe they sold him on being our Abdul Carter / Micah Parsons - he's obviously never going to be big enough to be an elite edge but can be very effective in college at that size.

Wouldn't surprise me if he led us in sacks if that's the case. He'll be great on obvious passing downs.

 

[DomeFieldAdvantage]

I mean, it doesn't have to all be since the season ended. After the regular season, we had 4 games over like 7 weeks, with most of that happening without school. Combine the extra time with a lower level of physicality during practices at the end of the season, and it seems believable that he was adding weight since the end of November, which would mean 3 months instead of 6 weeks.

 

[NDPhilly]

Haason Reddick has similar measurable / athletic profile and made a very succesful transition to edge, essentially as a pass rush specialist.

Honestly might have been a good fit for Jaylon Smith (pre-injury).

The new Julian okwara?

He played well in all of the playoff games.

Adding even more weight to play one year of edge would wipe away years of progress they have made with his off ball LB ability. Don’t Harold Perkins this.

He needs to be close to that weight to be a viable NFL prospect at LB anyways. I think this would be a step closer to being better at WILL and still situational on the edge, but definitely not a move there.

Damn they ruined Harold right?
