'11 IN OT/DE Tony Springmann (Signed Notre Dame LOI)

[jason_h537]

Still think he should play DE. Long body with basketball skills, could be a solid rush end

 

[BGIF]

Steve Hare IrishIllustrated reports Springmann will be at the Blue & Gold Game.

 

[rocket31]

he was offered today!!

 

[Kak7304]

ISD on twitter is reporting he just received an Irish offer.

 

[NDinL.A.]

He was offered, and he said ND jumped right into his top 3 with BC and Stanford. Talked about the mystique of ND and talked about our history, mentioning the 4 Horsemen, Knute, and the Heismans, etc.

He really wanted this offer, and he finally got it. Good for him. And it sounds like we're in GREAT shape here...

 

[The Polish Irishman]

good offer...8 days

 

[FWIRISH]

SWEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will be in Very good shape here. His Mom is a grad, and has 2 friends on the team now. He will be getting love from the staff now. Just a hunch for now but I believe we get Tony. This is the offer he was waiting for.

 

[jason_h537]

wouldnt be surprised if he commits next

 

[WabashFalcon]

This looks like number four.

 

[Legacy]

Pleased with this offer. Tony has a chance to make some ND history himself.

 

[NDinL.A.]

He told Scout that ND has emerged as his leader, and he had lots of great things to say about Kelly and ND. It sounds like he could commit next week at the B&G game. In fact, judging from everything I've read, like jason said, I'd say the odds of him committing next week are very good...

I say it's fait accompli. Kelly's orchestrating a B&G weekend announcement.

 

[JughedJones]

Kid looks awesome, would be a good get.


Things are really looking nice Irish fans!

One of Lemming's Two Most Likely To Commit at the B&G Game.


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Two who the Irish staff wants, and may get, according to Lemming, are Fort Wayne (Dwenger) defensive end Tony Springmann and Cincinnati (Colerain) inside linebacker Jarrett Grace.

“I think those are the two guys that could commit to Notre Dame while they're there,” Lemming said.[/FONT]

Notre Dame Football - Springmann Feels Right At ND

With his parents and brother by his side for the Irish spring game, the 6-foot-6, 270-pound Springmann verbally committed to Notre Dame.

“The schools I narrowed it down to, Wake Forest, Boston College, Stanford and Notre Dame, they’re all great academic schools, and they're all very respectable football programs,” Springmann told Irish Sports Daily on Thursday. The future Notre Dame defensive lineman also had scholarship offers from Michigan State, Purdue, Duke, Cincinnati, Louisville and Indiana.

“But I went out to Stanford for a few days over spring break and visited and everything, and you just don’t get the feeling you do when you’re at Notre Dame. There is something about being on the campus that just feels right.”

On which side of the trench?

Next to you or across from you?

 

[chyrspchuck]

I like that we are getting the guys in state and around, OH, IL and the legacies. Welcome to the family SpringMan

He needs to fill out a bit, but from the tape I've seen, he's quick bending the corner on D.

We have a few Oline only guys already committed. If he hits the weight room, he's going to be good. His arm's aren't the longest... and that would hurt him on the O side. Maybe he'll sprout up a little bit more in the coming months.

Regardless, I like the commit.

 

[jason_h537]

Welcome aboard Springmann. the staff has told him they project him as a strongside DE in the 3-4 which i also like.

 

[JughedJones]

Can't believe it's taken me so long... Congrats Tony! Glad you're with us!

Another flexible athlete being evaluate at 2 positions.

 

[Old Man Mike]

I notice that he is listed as a commitment to the basketball team as well, as a power forward. [Rivals]. That could also have something to do with how much weight he's carrying.

That's an error.

Big Tony's got some ESPN Video

Can't view it at work:

[FWIRISH]

He looks good TT. Not quite as explosive as Lynch or Rabassa at that weight, 242, but he is closer to 270 now. He will make us happy over the next 4 years!! He can also transition to OT if needed.

Came into his HS Camp at 6-foot-7 1/8 and 271 pounds. Putting on the muscle this summer.
