Sr Stats: 61 Tkl ... 10 TFL ... 2 Sks ... 9 QBH

Impressive T&F bests.

Shot Put = 65-9

Discus = 183-2

LONG JUMP = 18-1.75 - Give it up for the big man!

NDMIA · Dec 20, 2017

Is he a DL recruit or OL recruit?

T-Boone · Dec 20, 2017

Love it. Start recruiting DL again now that Jayson Ade has signed.

IrishFanJMercy · Dec 20, 2017

Not sure if this offer makes sense to me the DL class in 2019 is loaded with guys favoring us

How do you know he isn't being recruited for OL

BobbyMac · Dec 20, 2017

He doesn't play OL in any of Taylor's tape.

He's teammates with 2019 OT Andrew Coker who visited ND for a game this fall, DE Max Wright (TA&M signee and ND offer) and '19 WDE, Braedon Mowry who ND is watching.

Plenty of it out there, none with him on O.

Maybe Ewell is switching to OL? Maybe he's _______ ???

Those should get him a scholarship somewhere regardless of football.

Old Man Mike · Dec 21, 2017

This guy seems explosive and coordinated (you can't heave that discus without it.) Sounds like a potential hidden gem. Some other big schools think so too.

KizerWilhelm · Dec 21, 2017

This year's Tagovailoa-Amosa? Guy who flies under the radar and suddenly gets lots of offers, but ND comes out on top?

290 lbs and long jumps 18 feet? That's insane. These would be his Junior stats (track hasn't happened yet this year) Impressive numbers.

Is it more to do with Tillery than Ewell?

Or Bonner choosing not to use his 5th year.

Could be. I like it regardless.

Dave Campbell doesn't have this guy listed anywhere in his Class of 2018 Recruiting lists. His UVA, UCLA and ND offers have all been within the last two weeks.

Best player available methinks. It's gonna get crazy intense the recruiting now over these last few uncommitted prospects.

koonja · Dec 21, 2017

I'd be shocked if Ewell transfers. There is no substance to that rumor, IMO. He also won't switch to OL IMO.

I don’t think you recruit an extra freshman to backfill a departing senior starter. Unlikely OO plays much in ‘18 regardless. Maybe for Ewell. But mostly seems like a play for quality depth at a position where you can never have too many guys.

Are there actually rumors on other boards that he may transfer?

They need DT bodies. Only bringing in two right now.

Will lose: Bonner (grad), Cage (grad/med), Kilander (grad)

Could lose: Mokwuah (GT)

Might lose: Tillery (draft), Taylor (medical)

I'd be shocked if at least 4 DT's from above aren't gone.

I'd like to see one more and Ole Tito fit's the bill of DT or big SDE. Has played the position in a 3-4 and he's similar in size to Jay Hayes already. Definitely a DT first though.

Also need to find a PWO to replace Kilander.

BobbyMac · Dec 21, 2017

Texas Tech analyst put in a CB for the Red Raiders. He's not real good at the CB game so far... 55% but it's on the board.

BobbyMac · Dec 26, 2017

Planning an OV in mid-January but not locked in yet per Loy.

Says if UT offers, it could be over quik.

I hope the polar vortex has passed through by the time he arrives for his visit.

Legacy · Jan 4, 2018

No A&M offer

Legacy · Jan 6, 2018

Offered by UT (Tenn) and Nebraska this week.

BobbyMac · Jan 12, 2018

Saw this in a suggestion link:

https://247sports.com/college/notre...e-Otito-Ogbonnia-weighs-his-options-113618793

I take it he's still contemplating an OV to South Bend? Thought this was over.
