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.

 

[Irish#1]

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.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

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.

Notre Dame visit set for Jeremy Ruckert

Visiting March 9

 

[FDNYIrish1]

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.

 

[Naz2002]

Find a way to wrap him up and call it for TE's.

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.

 

[dublinirish]

chances of him committing this weekend?

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

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.

 

[KizerWilhelm]

Gotta be low, right? He's not even an ND lean at this point.

i thought he was high on ND?

 

[ND Fan Vancouver]

All your Tight Ends Are Belong To Us.
If we get this kid, Long will install 5 TE set for '18 - mismatch city.

 

[Luckylucci]

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

OSU is stacked with TE's as much as ND is.

 

[Irish Man3]

OSU is stacked with TE's as much as ND is.

OSU is also stacked with recent success and ND isn't.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

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.

 

[rtrn2glory]

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

 

[BobbyMac]

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.

 

[Rizzophil]

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

 

[Ricochet]

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

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.

 

[Irish Man3]

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

I would take Ruckert over both. Would be happy with any of the three, though.
