'11 NC WR/CB Matthias Farley (Signed Notre Dame LOI)

He's made a really nice long career for himself.

6 teams in 8 years, that is a decent career. He took a lot of guff his Sophomore and/or Junior year here for not playing up to his usual standard, and then it came out he had been playing injured much of the year. Obviously he's cemented his skills given his longevity.

Every time i see an early-BK ear player come up here I assume they've either conspired to murder someone or worse.

So this is a breath of fresh air. Congrats Matthias.

Great to see. Remember this kid well at ND. He was solid and played with passion/emotion. Nice to see he's still in the league.

Soccer player turned footballer. So I guess, always a footballer?

I remember seeing him in the background of an old ping pong-ball-in-the-cup each week. He was a Freshman and looked so small. He's come a long way and good for him.

Yep, and he's been pretty heralded by a lot of his teams as a special teams ace. It's been an awesome run for him.

The guy caught a lot of flack here.
Turns out he was pretty darn good.

One of my favorite players, always seemed to make a big play. If I remember correctly, his whole family are doctors. Really happy for his success.

Fortuna: Matthias Farley raised on excellence

Matthias Farley didn't pick up football until his junior year of high school, so of course he would be playing for Notre Dame in a national championship. If you're a Farely, excellence is the only option, writes Matt Fortuna.

Mark, a jazz drummer, home-schooled most of his kids with wife, Falinda, now an online marketer. One brother, Timon, 29, played hoops in Italy. Another, Nathan, 27, played tight end at Coastal Carolina. Along the way came Charis (26), Kenan (24) and Joy (23), who played volleyball and modeled, followed by Matthias (19) and Silas (18), who passed up going to Harvard to take an apprenticeship with the New York City Ballet. All of their names are tied to biblical readings in one way or another.
