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

[IrishLax]

Just notched a big sack on Prescott.

Would've been awesome if we hadn't burned his redshirt as a 17 year old and had him back this year. Would've probably been a captain with double digit sacks in place of Trumbetti.

Erick Flowers is a f'ing scrub

Yep his pass rush could have made the difference in some of those close loses this year.

He probably would have been drafted in the 2017 draft, instead of being a UDFA this past draft.

Would've definitely made the difference in a few games this year. In the Texas, Duke, and MSU games specifically, I bet he'd have made a play here or there that was a difference maker.

This has always been one of the worst burnt RS's that I can remember with ND football.

Good news is....... We essentially did the same thing to his brother and Jamir Jones

 

[Luckylucci]

On a positive note, super excited for Romeo. Hard work pays off, congrats!

 

[IrishLax]

NBC just said he, OVJ, and Janoris Jenkins were the stars of the night and get their game balls. 8 tackles and a sack for Okwara... not bad for first start.

 

[gkIrish]

Really hope the Giants lock him up to a long term deal for a reasonable price before his stock gets too high.

If you were Romeo would you do that?

Probably not. You would play your first 3 years and cash into the highest bidder on that second contract.

Sigh agree. Also, probably would have turned the Va Tech outcome around also...

Yea, virtually all games that it seemed like we just needed one more stop to pull out a victory.

If I was Romeo and could get 8 million in guaranteed money I would do it for sure. I'm thinking 4 years/22 million. 8 guaranteed.

If we had him this year, and he was even a little successful, likely we still have BVG. And possibly BVG ensures his talents are wasted.

 

[zelezo vlk]

I think since he's undrafted he can sign an extension after year 2, right?

 

[PLACforever]

Led the team in tackles.
Awesome to see him take advantage of the opportunity with JPP out.
NY has taken a shot on a lot of ND guys lately, Romeo, Nix, Ishaq. Wish Nix panned out and I believe Ishaq is on the practice squad.

 

[NDgradstudent]

Made the back page of the NY Post.

 

[jimmymac]

Couldn't happen to a better guy, too. Romeo brought it last night.

 

[ND NYC]

great job Romeo!

after Jenkins was my game mvp on defense for the GMen last night.

what a coming out party! made ND proud!

 

[Shamrock Theories]

Awesome to watch, and couldn't happen to a more well-liked team

Lol

 

[Blaise]

I am so glad Romeo helped shut up Dallas Fans.. They were crowing like this was still 1994

welcome back, jimmy.

 

[Emcee77]

His performance last night got me thinking that this whole ND season might have been a little different if we had only been able to keep the redshirt on him his freshman year. It's so crazy that he is still only 21.

Just sacked Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs for a huge loss.

The Giants have cut Romeo. I assume someone else will pick him up but who knows.

Colts need help in that department.
