'17 VA DT Darnell Ewell (Notre Dame Signee)

BobbyMac · Jul 31, 2017

Listed at 6-3, 321 from 6-4, 280 on signing day.

Would love to see a pic of him to put the CrusaderBMImeter to use. They may need to throw him back in the pool.

..or he may be a brick sh!t house? They weren't happy with something so 321 prolly is out of shape I'm guessing.

This was the kid who was supposed to be an immediate difference maker.

Any one hear how he is progressing under Elston?

I have to figure he will be a force IF he fully commits to putting in a full year with both Balis's strength and conditioning program and Elston's technique coaching. thoughts?

Luckylucci · Sep 25, 2017

Kelly called him, JOK, and Wardlow developmental guys last week. So that means a RS is in the cards.

Domina Nostra · Sep 25, 2017

Sounds like he's strong as an ox but doesn't know what he's doing quite yet. The "out of shape" stuff sounds more like it was about the kind of conditioning you need to play D1 football, not strength.

Could be quite a rotation in a couple years.

irishandy · Sep 30, 2017

If BVG were still here I bet he would've been thrown into the mix like some freshman last year.

Good move to redshirt him this year!

I can't say for sure but from what I understand is that he doesn't have good functional strength, it's all weight room strength.

That sounds like Asaph Shwapp, RIP. They look similar in a uniform. I wonder what you do with that?

Gonna make a great OG or Mustipher's replacement.

IrishFanJMercy · Nov 22, 2017

Think he gets moved to OL

Fbolt · Nov 22, 2017

OL-Really? Am I missing something here?

Just spitballin.

A lot of programs liked him at OL over DT. He made the Final 5 at his Nike Regional as an OG over his work as a DT.

Where's he been working this year?

dwshade · Nov 22, 2017

First things first. Get that body ready for the rigors of college football. Strength and conditioning a must.

Pretty sure he was on the defensive scout team otherwise we would have heard about it.

Correct. Very quiet year.

HH is still owed one for having to let Tillery flip to defense

I hope he plays like a damn wrecking ball and becomes an NFL millionaire.

ND88 · Dec 23, 2017

rooting just a bit more for his success... stay strong, young man

Irishnuke · Dec 23, 2017

Kids having kids. Damn. Good luck to him. He's gonna need to be more focused now than ever. Gotta get that degree and hopefully a shot at the NFL.

stlnd01 · Dec 23, 2017

Trying to imagine having a kid when I was a freshman in college. Damn. Good luck to him. It’s not an easy road.

irishff1014 · Dec 24, 2017

I am very happy to see he thriving to be a good father. That’s very important in this day and age.

How in the world do you knock up your girlfriend while playing college football? This cray to me..

Probably the same way HS players and non-players do. Do the math.

You see, when a man and a woman love each other very much, or when they're drunk, they sneak off into a dorm room and then 9 months later a stork drops a baby at their door.

BobbyMac · Dec 24, 2017

...and 9 months ago he was a HS swimmer, not a college football player.

I'm confused. So did he knock her up on a football field or in a pool? Details matter.

I have a right to know.

Why not both?
