ND RECRUITER: Mike Denbrock (Randy Hart)

DECISION SCHEDULE: 8/16/10 Washington Verbal

 

[jason_h537]

Being recruited by Ianello and Hart. Expects an offer Sep. 1

 

[Junkhead]

a 6-8 kid with 2 years of HS left!

 

[BCSorBust]

I had to do a double take and was panicking that we were going to take another tight end this recruiting cycle.

That is a HUGE junior though. I'm sure he could put on some too and be an offensive tackle coming in with that frame.

 

[jason_h537]

Yeah the kid is huge and plays basketball

 

[WabashFalcon]

What the hell is going on in the Pacific Northwest nowadays? We talking HGH in the drinking water instead of fluoride? Christ... never seen this many tall, stud players coming out of rain country.

 

[irish4ever]

No 40 yd. time posted. Curious how fast this kid is and his overall agility!?

 

[IrishAddiction]

Anyone know if this kid got an offer yet?

 

[jason_h537]

has an Official Offer

 

[BGIF]

3/16 Per Greg Biggins, ESPN, UCLA leads.

 

[WabashFalcon]

JENKIES!!!

4/1

Gig Harbor's (Wash.) Austin Seferian-Jenkins traveled down to the Sunshine State with his mother for spring break. Seferian-Jenkins, one of the top tight ends in the country, came to visit Miami and Florida. After arriving at UF, he realized one thing; it's different.

"The climate is different, the football intensity is different; it's just different from Washington."

...

"(The coaches) were just straight forward and honest. I really love coach Urban Meyer, he's really cool. He told me what he thought about me, his honest opinion, and what he thought I could do for the team right now

...

the Gig Harbor standout will attend summer camps at Florida, UCLA and Washington. Seferian-Jenkins said he will only take three official visits next season and Florida will receive one of them for sure, along with UCLA.

 

[BearGB]

...."straight forward and honest" Sorry, but I just puked a little in my mouth. Honestly though, I do believe it will be interesting to see how good Florida does this year.

 

[BGIF]

...."straight forward and honest" ...

It was April Fool's Day.

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

Down to his final 8 according to Rivals, although I can't read it. Figured I'd bump it if there was any information anyone would like to share.

 

[NDinL.A.]

Down to his final 8 according to Rivals, although I can't read it. Figured I'd bump it if there was any information anyone would like to share.

Here is what he said:

“My list is Washington, UCLA, California, USC, Alabama, Texas, Florida, and LSU. That is it, I am not looking at any other schools."

Those are some big-time schools there. Hope he chooses UCLA!

As long as its not USC.

 

[KPENN]

It sucks me didn't make the cut. Just hope he doesn't go to usc

Yea it would have been nice to make the final cut, but we are pretty stacked at Tight End, even with Ragone's departure. Unproven, but a lot of talent behind Rudolph and with the addition of Ben, it will be tough to get playing time at the position. I think his commitment and our quality depth will scare any other Tight End prospects off.

 

[Ricochet]

ND never had a chance with him as he wants to be a TE and ND was the one school that wasn't recruiting him as a TE. They wanted him as a DE.

according to Greg Biggins ESPN.

UW and UTx.

Four-star Austin Seferian-Jenkins down to Texas and Washington - ESPN

Despite all the previous chatter about UCLA or UF leading.

And while ND didn't see him as a TE apparently there now are others that see him growing into a lineman.
