Irish Illusterate article

Agholor, who could visit South Bend during the fall, knows a little bit about the Irish program thanks to a former player on his high school coaching staff.

Who is this coach/former player?

looks like another possible DB/WR in this class, but he does have nice size for a spread RB

Nice long strides and covers a lot of ground fast.

Kinda a guy that can bail a coach out with athletic ability/speed.

Yea Alford more than earned some respect from scouting agencies with his terrific work last year. This would be a very nice follow up. We have to show up on the field this year as well. I still think this will be a very tough pull.

Nelson Agholor just can't stop himself from competing - ESPN

Agholor hasn't slowed down on the recruiting trail either. He was at the Florida spring game on Saturday and previously took visits to Auburn and Georgia.

On Georgia: "I liked Georgia, I've always liked Georgia. A lot of people told me that Georgia is a place you have to check out for yourself and it was a really good place. I ran into A.J. Green down there while he was practicing for him pro day and we talked for a second. Now I'm a big A.J. Green fan."

On Auburn: "Auburn was good. They told me and everyone that was that is the reason they won a title is because the players bought into the system. The coaches are great. Coach [Tommy] Thigpen is a defensive mastermind. He breaks down film so well. My experience at Auburn was a really good one because I saw how they did things and why they won a national championship."

On Florida: "I'm impressed with the coaches at Florida and I think the players are going to have to buy into that system. Coach [Charlie] Weis is one of the best in the game coaching offense. I saw what they were trying to do on offense for the spring game and they were good things. The personnel just has to be molded to fit what he's doing."

The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder is expected to be at the FSU spring game this weekend, but says it will depend on transportation.

"I haven't been to FSU since being recruited by them," Agholor said. "I'd love to get there for the spring game and spend time on the campus. It seems like the players and coaches at FSU are so close."

There are many other programs hoping to get an opportunity to host Agholor on a visit. Southern Cal was one of the first schools to offer him. LSU, Oregon, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Texas, Georgia Tech and Duke are among the others.

Number 9 Ranked player on Rivals.

ND is recruiting him as WR.

Premium article on Agholor.

Tony Alford stopped by his high school last week. Hasn't reduced his list of schools but ND caught his eye. He likes the history and tradition. He wants to play offense but will play anywhere team needs him (He plays multiple pos. so teams will look at him for different needs)...bodes well for ND since they want him for offense. He may start to cut down schools on his list near end of Spring. ND is trying to get him up in the summer but Nelson will talk to family at end of Spring to decide what they will do......we'll see what happens.

Man I like this kid!

Man I like this kid!

Man he's got speed, but it's how quickly he gets to top speed that caught my eye. At about 1:35 he stopped, turned back for the ball the ball, did a 180 and got to top speed in about two steps. I can just imagine what he would do in kelly's spread.

you're right speed is one thing, but the ability to explode to full speed quickly is elite.
