Currently has offers from Maryland, Duke and East Carolina. So we know grades aren't an issue.
O'Brien moved from Minnesota before HS, so he's familiar with ND and the South Bend area. Too bad he moved, because he would have gone to Cretin-Durham, which sends a number of kids to ND, the latest being 2008 WR Michael Floyd.
He has the grades, he has the size, he has good things to say about ND, he has been to campus. Most importantly, he has the perfect name to become the next Irish QB.
