'12 NC DE Romeo Okwara (Notre Dame Signed LOI)

[BGIF]

...

As for the fact the kid is only 15...what in world? Is he extremely smart for a NC kid or something? That definitely raises his potential bar though. He'll graduate 2 years younger than most seniors. He has lots of growing to still do. Sign 'em up.

Mike Gandy was 16 I believe when he came to ND as a young TE. He sat out his freshman year and in time became a two year starter at G. He didn't come with the lifting rep Okwara has acquired.

So many 6'4" + athletic OLBs I love it!!! The magic of a ND visit strikes yet again!!!!!

 

[Riddickulous]

I think we've got our OLB for this cycle.

 

[NDPhilly]

Any idea why he is rated so low?? He has a very good offer list with the likes of Va Tech. UNC. G- Tech. Miami. and Clemson.

probably lack of scouting and need to see more of him on the field...he's got great size for an OLB
