Kid is a beast. I live a Kyle Brindza kickoff away from his high school so I've been watching him since he was a sophomore. Has a motor, hits hard, and never quits on a play.

 

[BeauBenken]

This guy runs a 4.5? I can not see that kind of athleticism on the tape.

EDIT: Finally saw one of his speed rushes. Hmm. Maybe he can run.

 

[Grahambo]

96 rating, #24 in the Top 247, #1 WDE, #2 in VA.

2010: 87 tackles, 20 sacks, and 8 FF
2011: 102 tackles and 15 sacks

 

[NDdomer2]

At that speed and lower weight he is going to play olb for us no?

 

[SaltyND24]

At that speed and lower weight he is going to play olb for us no?

I was thinking the same thing...I would have to assume so

 

[PANDFAN]

@ 225 now he would easily be 250 in college...athletic monster of an inside backer

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Will Lax be able to check this kid out also?

 

[NDPhilly]

Has ND even contacted the kid?

 

[Irishnuke]

At that speed and lower weight he is going to play olb for us no?

Probably not playing anything for us if we haven't offered or showed interest.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

At that speed and lower weight he is going to play olb for us no?

Absolutely. With those measurables, there's no way he ends up anywhere but LB.

If not, first contact should be with his offer. Hails from same high school as Andrew Nuss. Honestly at this stage, he reminds me of a slightly more athletic Justin Tuck. Along with these stats, kid seems to block a punt or field goal every game. He's legit folks.

 

[IrishLax]

Well... that's a bit presumptuous considering there's a year to NSD. Look at guys like Marcus Rios that were nowhere on our radar until like... November?... and then we ended up pushing reallllly hard for.

That takes either balls or craziness to say. Tuck was and is a freak athlete.

Tuck is a beast, plain and simple. Dude lines up at DT in the NFL and still gets to the QB.

 

[IrishGlory]

Allen is also a forward on the BB team so I might stop by their game tonight to check it out.

 

[IrishGlory]

Up to #10 prospect in nation per 247 Sports and still no offer from ND?? UF and Bama are leaders.

 

[sparkyND]

Maybe the mutual interest isn't there between Allen and the staff. I remember Kelly talking about how the mutual interest is one of the key things the staff look into initially.

 

[Irishnuke]

Most likely grades if he hasn't been offered.

 

[irishff1014]

Most likely grades if he hasn't been offered.

Probably not grades if Vandy and stanford have offered.

 

[IrishGlory]

This^^. His HS (along with many others in Loudound County, VA) produces some good athletes that make the grade and I'm sure he is one of them. Several current ACC players are from this school (Wake, UVA, BC). The teams QB is a Stanford commit as well.

 

[NDhoosier]

Might not have any interest in Notre Dame to begin with so the staff wont even bother. I am sure I hear GITF or GBdomer state that schools usually try to get a feel for how interested the recruit is toward the school early on in the process.

Kinda like if one of us were a stud high school recruit and people found out that we hated Michigan, I doubt Michigan would even bother offering us.

Pfft ... Michigan would be trying to make ground with me for USC! Only to be shunned after an 11th hour commitment to ND. Don't worry, I would be respectful enough to never commit before ND.

 

[Irishnuke]

Good call. Should have looked at the list first.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Committed to Bama.

The rich get richer.

Another stud defender to Alabama yay... ( low toned tailing off)

If Alabam can scrape themselves out of mediocrity then damnit so can we!
