'22 SC LB Jaylen Sneed (Notre Dame Signee)

[Dale]

Damn they ruined Harold right?

They basically came out of HS the exact same way I don’t think they, be it LSU or Perkins himself, ever have taken his development seriously at LB. Instead using shortcuts like playing DE or Nickel where he will flash the highlight reel but is pretty awful down to down. Versus what I think what they have done with Sneed is very commendable to Sneed himself, is stick with developing his LB skills, mental and physical. He is leaps and bounds better in the mental part of playing LB than he was 2 years ago, and I would rather see that progress further with the same sprinkling in package wise when needed.

If he can play at that weight and stay at LB, I'm fine with it.

But, I agree with Dale - don't mess with a good thing. A light came on for this kid during the back half of the season at LB, and he played really well in the playoffs. Keep him off the ball, and if the added size helps there, terrific.

Love the idea of him in a Micah Parsons / Jalon Walker type role.

 

[NDMatt91]

Hopefully he kept his speed

 

[NDFAN2008]

Would love to see him break out and have 7-8 sacks this year and be a second rounder

 

[Crazy Balki]

Walker is probably an apt comparison to what Sneed can be.

Both are about 6'2 and if Sneed is at 240 or close to it, he'll be about the same size as Walker. Let him play a sort of Marist-type role, where he's doing a lot of inside rushes, occasionally bouncing off the edge. If Botelho and Traore are back and full go for fall camp, as expected, the pass rush is going to be ridiculous.

6 total tackles and a TFL. Probably his best game of his career. Noticed him more tonight than I had most of the season

 

[Ndaccountant]

Don't look now, but Stanford over fsu.

I love how he got that big word right (noting that MFMF messed it up through the week, I was going to LOL at him but then I couldn’t think of the word either).

Played a great game tonight. Made things happen out there.

All three of those boys are really hitting their stride. Feels like it isn't happenstance that the defense is improving as those three LB are starting to knock people around.

He’s expected to return per Matt Freeman.

Massive for the defense

 

[KPENN]

Did not see that one coming

 

[zelezo vlk]

That’s good news

 

[Dale]

KVA injury certainly had an impact but hilarious he was predicted to transfer after every single season by the beat

 

[KMac151993]

That’s good news

Great news.

 

[irish2104]

Some good news!!

 

[CanadalovesND]

He sounded all but NFL bound in interviews before the start of the season. Great news for the team!

 

[RudyVerse]

Enormous.

 

[RudyVerse]

I don’t want to bump every thread but Schumer and Bowen also expected back.

I don’t want to bump every thread but Schumer and Bowen also expected back.

Who?

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Probably Shuler.

 

[ab2cmiller]

So you are now saying that since the beat is expecting him not to transfer, he's now guaranteed that he will?

 

[SeekNDestroy]

Probably Shuler.

I should’ve been able to figure that one out.

 

[ReesusCrist]

Who?

Chuck, maybe?? If a 75-year-old senator can get an eligibility waiver, Onye shouldn't have any issues!

 

[T-Boone]

Good man

I dont want her back...

 

[RudyVerse]

Apologies, stupid IPhone autocorrects everything. Yes, Schuler and he also mentioned Boubacar expected back. I don’t think that’s a shock but good to confirm.

Matt also said he doesn’t expect Burnham back but didn’t sound sure. That’s a big depth piece lost if so.
