'18 MI OLB Ovie Oghoufo (Notre Dame Early Enrollee)

[GBdomer]

Elite

Anybody really know what position we like him at? Assuming the buck position? I think he's a guy who can play mike, buck or grow into a smaller speed rusher on the edge. Does he have the speed to play rover and coverage ability?

I like his ability to turn and run but I noticed he can be blocked at the HS level. Would like to see him close on the ball quicker and react to pass plays earlier. I think I saw him in coverage once and he grew a PI. So I am questioning whether he can play in coverage. I don't think we will have to worry about his tackling ability and seeking contact.

Not sure if this is 1st team or Honorable Mention, all-schools, or small schools but good recognition for him.

90% of americans pronounce words with T in them like D.
Example you all say Lidder instead of Litter or Bedder instead of Better.

While true, no one pronounces it NO-druh Dame instead of NO-truh.

I'm talking about NO-truh vs NO-der

Is it 90%, or is it regional?

I know people from Baltimore who say "wudder," instead of water. But some people from Philly sound like they were saying "witter."

Yeah Buddy!

This probably results in a decent bump in his ratings/rankings.

Rover

I don't think so. Will or whatever the name is in Elko's system. Basically the spot Martini is playing.

Buck.

This guy is athletic enough and has the frame to play any of the 3 LB spots, but he's probably going to grow out of the Rover size. With his frame, he can get up to near 240 without much struggle.

 

[RDU Irish]

4.8 40 doesn't sound like Rover material to me.

 

[irishff1014]

Good job Young man.

On whether he will sign during the new early signing period Dec 20-22nd:

“I will be signing early at Notre Dame. I feel that being an early enrollee will give me the chance to be ahead of the 2018 class, as well as getting the opportunity to be developed earlier.”

Per a 247 freebie from Oct:

Early signing period approved for college football recruiting
