2026 ND Portal Targets

[Dale]

So thoughts on Keeley,… do we think they bulk him up and use him inside or try the opposite and keep him on the edges?

He’s a DE. He should lose weight if anything. So should Young.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Canion to UGA. I don't think folks here were still viewing him as being on the team's radar, but thought I'd post it given the chatter from a few days ago.

Tech to Uga. Nothing is sacred in this sport anymore.

What do you all think? (FYI - It was reported on 24/7 and this guy reposted it)

Opposite, keep him on the edge and let him be a JJB-type reincarnated. Although, maybe he should play lighter than JJB. I really like the idea of pairing Keeley up with Landow for a year.

We have a need at SDE, I say keep him there. Him and Bryce Young are your two SDEs and we're set there, one can go inside on 3rd and long.

Still need two DTS and still don't care about kicker.

They'd be doing him a disservice - he's got the frame of Myles Garrett, Not Stephon Tuitt

I can't imagine what it's like being an ASU fan right now let alone a program like NMSU.

All your good players just leave.

Keep him at DE imo. Moving him inside didn’t work for Bama.

My thoughts are this guy needs to chill out on the wannabe Hayes Fawcett shtick for just an offer lol. Got me excited we got one

At least their making more realistic offers if hype and $ are too much for the top P4 guys, ND has needs.

Strong production (43 tackles, 11 TFL, and 6 sacks) and had strong games against Tulsa and Liberty; Tennessee, not so much.

Incredibly productive last year, and hes a grown man. If you can pair him with Brewu and bring back Mukam, Charlie gonna have plenty of clay to mold.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Has had some good film at the C-USA level, but nothing really stands out when you project to the P4 level. Looks more like a DT4 or DT5.

It was reported on 24/7 Notre Dame Offers New Mexico State DT Ezra Christensen

 

[fightingirish26]

Wild how so much of our beat seems to have no plan B for getting info. If they aren't getting anything from the Gug, they seem to give up. You can hunt down sources from several different angles, but the majority don't even seem to try.

 

[arrowryan]

Is Ryan Favrel just Bruce with mediocre word art?

 

[dublinirish]

Fravel tweets need to be blacklisted on here

Yup

He's basically Hinish's size. A DT primarily used on passing downs.

 

[The Backer]

40 pressures on 494 snaps. Highly graded by PFF for whatever that's worth. He'd be a high quality rotation DT which is exactly what we're looking for.

We’re looking for starting DTs. But agree we do need depth too.

He’s definitely undersized but he does not have the reputation of Hinish.

He played on all downs for Pitt. Whereas with Hinish by seasons end, he only played against 25% rushing plays. Don’t love PFF but Hinish had a 58 Rush Defense grade, including numbers in the 30s against Miami. Brewu it is a 78 grade with a 68 grade against Miami. Brewu went viral for having insane squat numbers as a freshman. So he’s undersized but strong. Hinish is undersized with fast hands.

I was referring to Christensen

 

[Te'o4Heisman]

So your hill is that ND's top DT target is an Edge guy or a guy ND is tampering with. And not the actual DTs they've already scheduled to get on campus?

I trust MF and co as well, but they will never publicly state "yea we whiffed on our top guys." Instead it'll be spin..."the guys we signed were our top targets from the beginning." Which is silly and everyone would know is smoke.

So basically I am trying to make the point that nobody really knows shit and in reality all just making up assumptions and projecting them on the staff, and I throw out some random example and now you want to portray that as my statement of fact of whats going on…i already made it clear I am not partaking in that stupid game.

We keep teetering between the stages of mom would be sad and fuck if we ball at this stage of the portal.
