From the OFD article:

Sweeney, who looks every bit the part of an Irish fullback with a scruffy face and red hair, will most likely be a preferred walk-on for Notre Dame this season. Notre Dame is still over the 85 man limit, and unless something drastic changes (hello ND offseason), there won’t be a spot available for him as a scholarship player.

A FULLBACK.

THE PROPHECIES WERE SUNG BY THE ANGELS FROM ON HIGH, AND THE GLORIOUS ECHOES WERE AWOKEN, AND THE AWESOME THUNDER WAS SHAKEN DOWN FROM THE VERY SKIES THEMSELVES.

AND BEHOLD THE GLORY!

Haha, guys, I just got pranked so hardcore by my friend. He installed a macro on my browser so that "halfback" gets changed to "fullback." What a joker!

Huh. I'm refreshing the page and nothing's changing.

Looks like Koon out there:

I'm most impressed with his 95 lb bench press towards the end.

He is also from Ann Arbor so let's hope he's not playing in the 1st game.

I ain't no mathematician, but I'm pretty sure that's at least 185 lbs.

 

[Irishman77]

Awesome! I am getting my hopes up that we won’t be running out of the shotgun on 4th and one going forward

 

[Henges24]

To be honest I didn't even look to see what the weights weighed. It's 45 lbs on both sides (that you can see) with a 45 lb bar (assuming it's standard) which would be 135. I'm sure it's more than that though.

Just jokes man, just jokes.

His dad was Vagas Ferguson's FB. Grandpa played for ND too.

I am seeing an Irish Legacy Heavy formation at the goal line - Peter Bush at QB, with Sweeney, Grunhard, and Logan Plantz in the backfield.

If only Connor Hanratty could have stayed for an 8th year to plow out the middle...

 

[BobbyMac]

Did Pete Bush transfer in???

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Happy for Sweeney to get an opportunity to wear the gold helmet.

Damn, people love bashing a kid who just wants to make the most of his opportunity. Of course he won't be our starting tailback but I hope he can help the team in whatever way possible.

 

[condoms SUCk]

I wanna see the FB Dive over and over and over and over and over.......

Give them a dose of their own medicine.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Any truth to the rumor his uncle Dabo is also transferring in?

 

[dad4aa]

His dad was Vagas Ferguson's FB. Grandpa played for ND too.

I thought Jerome Heavens was Vagas’ FB?

Any word on what this was about?

Harbrick likes to slum it at the clubs under assumed name "Joey Toiletwater". He goes as God intended; a pair of khakis and glorious, pasty white toplessness from the waist up. Last week, he was caught hitting on Sweeney's longtime girlfriend, and when confronted, flawlessly performed Rafi's famous move: self-defeces. At the game, he was simply asking Sweeney to split the dry cleaning bill.
