[The Polish Irishman]

According to ISD & Rivals picked up an ND Offer.

High School Teammate of Current ND Committ Cam McDaniel

 

[The Polish Irishman]

Per ESPN:

Okotcha is an underrated cornerback prospect with very good zone skills when projecting for the college level. He lacks ideal size but is aggressive and plays bigger on film. Really understands the position with a high football IQ as well as natural coverage awareness skills.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

His size and speed looks impressive, offer list not so much.

 

[Pheonix14]

NICE!!!!!! Another potential TX hammer! Let's see if Cam can run some game on him and help him "reconsider" his commitment to Wisconsin...

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Per ESPN:

Well looking at that qoute he seems to fit exactly what Martin, Diaco and Kelly want in a corner.

 

[TerryTate]

Nice work TPI

If his height and speed are legitimate, then he is worthy. You can coach a guy who runs a 4.47 and is six foot.

If they offered him on the visit, then, his size is got to be legit. Kelly likes to offer after seeing the athletes in person.

 

[Riddickulous]

Get this kid and let Chuck Martin work his magic.

 

[ryno 24]

If they offered him this late I think we have a chance and He must have a lot of potential... do we know if and when he will decide

 

[TerryTate]

He's still firmly "committed" to Wisconsin, so he has decided. Now it's our time to put in work. Chuck Martin can/has/will deliver.

 

[ACamp1900]

do we know if and when he will decide

He decided back in August... that's the way we should look at it until further notice.

 

[ryno 24]

I think Cam Mcdaniel will help too but I bet he has a secondary time table Lynch did so did Hayes

 

[irishff1014]

Come on Cam call your bud up and let him know how much fun it will be playing with him in south bend

 

[CanadianIrish]

We need DBs in this class, this kid looks like he would fit in nicely. Cam needs to get all over him.

 

[Tate the Great]

Just committed to ND! Welcome Bennett!
