Plays all over the place for typical LI/NY football. WR, OLB-DE.

Looks the part, hopefully he goes to IMG so we can see what he's made of.

We better start throwing to the TE or these kids are going to stop coming.

Super athlete, could play mutliple positions? Sounds perfect for a role as our ST gunner and nothing else.

247's #39 OVERALL / #2 TE in the country and he's nothing else but a gunner?

I think you're looking for the Igbenoghene profile down the hall...

I'm making a reference to our staff's ineptness of utilizing Chase Claypool for anything other than punt gunning, when he looks like the best player on our team at times. I can't stand our staff's underutilization of talent (Morgan too).

Haven't thrown to them since Niklas and 2 of the top 3 in '17 are on their way inspite of that. The perceived ND/TE brand be some powerful mojo.

This kid is real close to me, have some family in town. I need to check him out in person. LI turning out some decent talent the past couple years. Nowhere near where it should be based on population, but a couple of decent players.

Everyone I've asked says the kid is the real deal. Great athlete. The only issue is the absolute awful competition out here. On an island of over 7 million, there is a serious lack of football talent other than 5 or so kids each year.

Only about a half hour down the road from me, if he's committed by the time the fall rolls around might have to work on my wildly untrained scouting report.

Depends on how well the staff can sell him playing time and so forth. We have 2 stud tightends as Freshman but will lose maybe 3 tightends possibly next year.

If we get this kid, Long will install 5 TE set for '18 - mismatch city.

OSU is the perceived leader at this point, we'll see if ND can make a move with this visit.

We will lose at least two TEs next year. It's likely Weishar & Luatua will be gone with a potential of losing Smythe and/or Alize (if he has a big year).

We'll ideally keep at least one of those 4 for 2018 but then it's only Wright and Kmet on the roster. There is certainly a path to playing time for a TE.

We've been spoiled at tight end but hope we can get ourselves in contention

I would rather have Takacs or Luke Ford. Would rather have a potential Niklas than another Wright or Kmet.

Actually it's Smythe who will be gone (5th year SR.) and Weishar would have one year eligibility remaining if asked back.

Takacs really hasn't produced though. His team doesn't feature him so hard to call him a can't miss prospect ....

To be fair though most (not all) tight ends aren't featured in high school

That's just crazy. Don't get me wrong I like Takacs and his upside but he's not an immediate talent thats going to see the field early. What I like about him is that he would be great understudy to Wright as the inline TE. That said Ruckert like Wright and Kmet is a stud that can make an impact early but that might be what also hurts ND's chances with him because if he wants to play as a true freshmen because while he has the ability to make an early impact at ND he would most likely be behind 2 other studs at the flex TE position in Alize Mack and Cole Kmet.
