'26 IA TE Evan Jacobson (Offer)

[NDPhilly]

#169 and #160 player on 247 / on3. Rivals having his as a 3 star and ESPN having him unranked (lol) pulling him down for now. This would be another great get.

Also worth noting that we were his last offer (well after OSU, PSU, LSU, FSU, Auburn, etc…). Impressive job by the staff if they can close.

Assume we’ll still go hard after Premer, but wonder where that leaves us with a kid like JC Anderson who is very good but not elite.

Premer is the elite of the elite this class along with Kendre Harrison and Brock Harris imo. Bowman is up there too.

Jacobson is in that next group with Sutter, Prothro, etc. imo.

Not sure if this was known but he called Harris Bivin the TEs Coach and Denbrock the OC. Hunter’s brother who is an analyst.

First Fong’d, now Singer’d.

Competition seems a bit random in Florida State and Auburn

Moved his visit up to this weekend

 

[Dale]

This sounds (almost) done for the good guys

 

[IRISHbluehen]

Get the feeling that they both will get the green light once Premer visits this week and they get a better gauge of what he will do. Assuming he wants to stay close to home.

 

[NDhoosier]

I'll be curious to see what happens if Premer says he wants in.

They would take 3

They would take 3

and it would be stupid bc they could get 2 more dudes next year

Who do you say no too?

 

[Padomer9]

I’m sure we will find out the answer to our TE conundrum pretty soon. If Premer does in fact visit (just saying if, I assume the visit is still on. No inside info). Does it move the needle for him? I have a feeling the visit goes well but doesn’t do anything for us. We then land Jacobson and Fryzel.

If we do hit Premer’s visit out of the park we take him. Then it’s whoever the staff likes more out of 2A/2B which would probably be Jacobson.

 

[NDhoosier]

Premer is definitely the best of the 3, but I think taking all 3 would be a mistake. That is overloading at the position.

 

[allenm5333]

Who do you say no too?

I think you take the first 2 who want in. I think Premer is the best but not so much so that you say no to anyone else

 

[NDMatt91]

They'd take him, but from what ISD has said, Premer is a long shot.

 

[Ian77]

I would guess the staff would turn up the heat on Premer before accepting a commit from Fryzel. "Look, man. He's going to commit, so you're either in or out". I keep hearing Premer wants to stay in-state, though.

Hoosier is probably right that 3 would be overkill, especially as Denbrock gets his guys, slowly but surely improves the WR room from the Del and Chanci disasters, and molds the offence into more 11 than 12. It was smart to run 12 when ND had so few serviceable wideouts (and multiple serviceable TE's when MF took over, but that's not the case anymore.

 

[Dale]

Fryzel almost certainly is already committed

 

[NDWarrior]

Some thoughts from R2 re: the take / no take decision for Jacobson Notre Dame football is left with an interesting “dilemma” following suprise commitment from elite TE Ian Premer

 

[SoIll]

ISD mentioned that staff pressed him to commit and he refused to do so. This coming after he basically told the staff that ND was the place for him. Just never officially committed.

Per Singer. Trending away from ND

Don't need a 3rd TE anyways use that offer for an extra DL guy

And at the very least, take two TEs next year. We could hit on 2 studs again next year

 

[arrowryan]

I do know the staff was telling him they would take 3 tight ends. Maybe he doesn’t want to be part of a 3 TE class.

If I remember correctly, the staff would take three IF Premer wanted in. That assumed Fryzel and Jacobson would already be in the class. I think everyone expected Jacobson to pop before Premer. Premer is the type of guy you always make room for but now that he committed first, your needs are met.

Agreed, Jack Larsen has 4 years left I think he's going to be good, James Flanigan is gonna be a stud he will play this year I wouldn't be surprised if he breaks out. If I'm Notre Dame I'd go after Driver and Loken or Brown

I was told by someone, post Premer, that Jacobson was still being told they would take 3
