'19 HI ATH Marist Liufau (Notre Dame Signee)

[ColinKSU]

Yes. He, Bertrand and Kiser all are. If Liufau is really a second-day pick, good for him. Go get it, kid.
I don't see it but then I'm not an NFL scout.

Totally. I wouldn’t do it, but NFL teams do a lot of things I wouldn’t do. He needs to go if he’s a take in those rounds.

He could blow up the combine.

He's a naturally high tackler who doesn't consistently get off of blocks, he could use a year's more of film way more than a good 40 & broad jump

Appears to be off to NFL (accepted senior bowl. Not a big deal but now we need JD back.

Expected, a bit unfortunate though. Hope he has a good bowl game as well.

We won't get JD back, Kiser is the only guy I think we have a shot of keeping.

AWESOME!!! Worst tackler to ever wear a helmet!

Grabbing people by the neck is finally over!!!

Kiser isn't a NFL player so assume he'll be back.

Kiser isn't a NFL player so assume he'll be back.

Unless he’s ready to move on in life, in which case, God bless. But yeah he feels most likely of that trio to return and I think that’d be great.

 

[PutuporShutup]

I gotta think JD is undecided if he hasn't committed to senior bowl (assuming he's invited, as he should be).

 

[bumpdaddy]

I believe the II guys said the rule has changed and this will be the 1st year that Senior Bowl players with eligibility can still opt to go back to school after the game.

 

[dublinirish]

FYI committing to the play in the senior bowl does not necessarily mean a player is going leave for the NFL draft. Example Michael Pratt has accepted an invite but hasn't declared he is going to go pro yet

Correct. New rule change allows them to play in a senior bowl and still come back.

Good luck to him.

Per Sampson on II podcast Marist will skip the bowl game and declare for the draft

Always balls out in North Carolina so the Panthers would be a good landing spot

Interesting. He doesn’t seem to be elite athletically

He is elite athletically.

He's not elite in terms of recognition and instincts.

Was at ND for 5 seasons. Coming off a relatively healthy season, time to test and give it a shot I’d say. If not grad degree in progress at ND.

I wouldn't go with it being that absolute. He said "It's my understanding that Marist Liufau is maybe not going to play in the game..."

 

[dad4aa]

I have no problem if a player skips ND’s “worthless bowl” game unless they play in some other bowl. If you skip the bowl so you don’t risk injury, don’t go play in another “worthless bowl”.

They should have his replacement run into Rylie Mills’ ass on the first defensive snap as a tribute.

This makes me so happy

 

[Grahambo]

Another one who gave it his all. Much appreciated. Can’t remember ever questioning his work ethic.

If he does skip the Bowl for the NFL. All the best to him and I hope he gets selected to a defense that can utilize his talents.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Love what Marist gave us, which was 100% of what he had, and I look forward to seeing what we have in the LB room moving into next season. I hope Marist can earn an NFL paycheck for a few years.
