That's a good catch, but I meant this the other way. I was of course being facetious and anyone who didn't recognize that needs to go to joke school.

Perry: "Perry has excellent size with a thick frame that could allow him to grow into a 4-3 linebacker. In the Irish defense he is an ideal fit for the strong safety and nickel positions. Perry gets downhill with authority and looks more comfortable the closer he gets to the line of scrimmage. He will have to work on keeping a better base and playing lower when he is about to engage, but Perry hits with authority."

The reps are there for him at safety and LB this spring. Only 5 scholarship linebackers healthy (Onwualu, Morgan, Martini, Bilal & Barajas) and only 3 scholarship safeties (Redfield, Fertitta & Williams).

You forgot about Studstill. I would also add Hayes at LB but not sure if he's all healed up...

Did not count Studstill because he wasn't previously on the team

Luckylucci · Jan 11, 2016

Evan Sharpley at Irish247 did posted a couple of quick hits on a few different topics last week. One was the kind of coverage that ND wants to run. He said that the main focus inside the Gug was on Quarters, Quarters, Half coverage. With a focus on hard run support from the Safety on the Quarters side and a deep half field Safety to the other. A majority of the breakdown this season was on the deep half field S, or Max Redfield.

Kind of explains the focus on bigger S's like a Spencer Perry and the amount of diversity within that S group.

Listened to the extended power hour and both Jamie Uyeyama and Mike Frank see him as a linebacker and would not even waste starting him out at Safety.

So basically once JO and Martini graduate that spot will be his, which I'm fine with. Imo kid is a baller.

I think Barajas/Bilal and Jamir Jones will have something to say about that.

I really hope so. We can't afford to have backups across a whole positional class. Coney recovering from injury until fall and Barajas and Bilal with a RS year under their belts. Hopefully at least 2 of the 3 become contributors.

I'm not claiming they are all backups, just saying it really doesn't bode well when you a class is jumped by incoming players. (unless they are exceptional talents).

Good point about Bilal. Isn't Barajas more of a Mike though. And couldn't Bilal play Will also?

I do love me some Jamir Jones! My favorite underrated prospect in this class.

Signing Day Eve: Early Enrollee Capsules - Irish Sports Daily

6-3, 200
Bradenton, Fla./IMG Academy
ISD 3-star, Rivals 3-star, Scout 3-star, 24/7 3-star, ESPN 3-star
Recruiter: Autry Denson
Recruiting Rundown: Perry made an early commitment to Florida, but even before he arrived in South Bend for Irish Invasion in June, many were predicting a flip. Shortly after he returned from the trip, he decommitted from Florida, but didn’t complete the flip to Notre Dame until a week later. Perry also had offers from Auburn, Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State and Clemson among others. He played at IMG Academy with fellow Irish commit Tony Jones Jr. before having his senior season cut short by injury.
Expert Analysis From Uyeyama: I love the physical presence Perry brings to the game, but I’m not sure how effective he can be in coverage. I think he may lack some recognition skills in coverage and may be a little bit tight-hipped when matched up with smaller, quicker athletes.
Because of that and a frame that I believe will allow him to get above 220 pounds, I think his future may be at linebacker even though his start will probably be at strong safety. He is a true thumper, though, and has the potential to develop into an intimidating individual on the football field.

Perfect if Studstill gets #13.

IRISHMAN · Oct 18, 2016

at this point in the season im guessing that perry will redshirt. does any know how he's been doing in practice? also will he stay at SS or make the move to LB?

I like the idea of perry moving to LB and then jalen Elliot moving to SS, get more athletes on the field.

Maybe I'm confusing him, but I thought that Perry was the guy that the staff saw in camp and immediately thought "redshirt to transition to linebacker".

I don't think so. I believe he has been playing special teams.

Like Javon Mckinley? I get you have to keep these kids happy but sit them down and tell them to take one for the team

I would imagine that it is kind of hard to look these kids in the face and tell them that the University requires them to make the academic progress required to graduate in 4 years, each semester, but then encourage them to sit so that they can preserve a year of eligibility.
