'20 KY TE Michael Mayer (Notre Dame Signee)

[IrishLion]

How much PT are we expecting for him in 2020?

All of it.

Depends on whether Kmet has a change of heart or not lol

1) Michael Mayer was named The Opening Skills Position MVP after scoring 4 TD's in the Finals
2) Greg Biggins, Steve Wiltfong, and countless other analysts at the Opening Finals agreed that Michael Mayer outperformed Arik Gilbert & Darnell Washington
3) He was neck and neck with Gilbert & Washington in the combine stuff, showing that his athleticism is close to as freakish
4) Had a dominant senior season of football and was named Mr. Kentucky.
5) Is attending the All American Bowl along with Arik Gilbert where they can once again go head to head to see who's the better prospect

I can understand how they'd be close and maybe Gilbert a little bit ahead of Mayer, but to have Mayer ranked 69th, 37th, and 81st compared to Gilbert being at 15th, 11th, and 12th is just embarrassing on the recruiting services' part. Gilbert is a physical specimen and Darnell Washington looks like Hercules, but time and again we've seen Michael Mayer be a better TE prospect than them. Where they are ranked, the services are basically saying that these dudes are sure-fire 1st round picks in 3 years which is crazy. I think the other two are really really good but I like the Mayer the best and I think in 3 years you'll see that reflected in the NFL draft barring injuries.

Testify! @ them that knowledge!

Deer antler spray and bags of cash??

Hardly. That's 2012 old school. Now it's more about rhEPO and mediated gene transfer. Why do you think they got them tents on the sidelines? The cash now goes towards the "enhancement" of sports medicine for the student athlete. Geez.

While I like Mayer the best because he's Irish, it's hard to put him above Gilbert based on his Opening performance alone. Gilbert had 100 rec / 1750 yds / 15 TD's for the state champs in 7A GA football. That's not a misprint. Dudes basically a way ahead of schedule Megatron.

If I was drafting a football HS team out of 2020 prospects it's:

1. Arick Gilbert
2. Kelee Ringo
3. Michael Mayer
4. Clark Phillips
5. Cameron Martinez
6. Lathan Ransom
7. Tommy Christakos (All American K/P's who avg 1000+ yds receiving per 9 gm season are generational)

Can anyone confirm the measurements of hands and arm length are correct on 247 from Army AA game? Arm length of 31 3/4 for a 6-4 dude is not something you normally see.

Is that good or bad. I am not up on arm length measurements?

I remember a bit of talk about Jamion Franklin during his recruitment and I have to admit I noticed his short arms during the bowl game. I mean, its how I recognise him on the field now.

It would be on the shorter side. Many of the TE's that size are around 33 inches.

Do you think that's long or short?

Remember, there is a difference between sleeve length and arm length. I'm 6-5.5 and wear 37/38" sleeves but my arms only measure 33" from my torso to the tip of my middle finger. They are using the second method.

It's on the shorter end. Of the TE's that were 6'4 at the combine last year, here are the arm lengths:

33 1/2
33 3/8
32 1/4
33 1/2
33 3/4
33 1/2
32 5/8
33 3/8
32 1/8
32 3/4
33
31

The 31 inches was C.J. Conrad from Kentucky. Alize was 33 3/4. Alize had a 6 inch difference in wingspan to CJ.

It's not the end all, be all. But it would be a bit shorter armed compared to others.

I am 6'3 and measure at 32 1/4.

I'd be interested how they are measuring too. I saw a video of a combine where they were taking a yardstick and sticking it into the armpit(???)

With TE's I'd want to know wingspan because there's a big difference between a guy with a 17' wide torso and 22" wide when it comes to hanging weight and functional strength through the shoulders.

Yea, that's really the reason why I asked. From everything we have seen thus far, he looks beastly. It just seemed inaccurate.

 

[GUknights75]

Same arm length and hand size as Jordan Johnson

 

[BeauBenken]

That'd be the same length that Durham Smythe was measured at at the NFL Combine.

Didn't know that. Reps.

How is anyone here supposed to be able to confirm that?

Well, if it were posted on other sites, that would be a start. The way it was displayed on 247 made it appear that it could have been a typo, since it was the same hand and arm measurements as Johnson, who was listed before Mayer.

 

[Luckylucci]

I’d be interested on how accurate these measurements to be compared to on campus. Maybe on campus even exaggerates a bit no idea. Just curious.

 

[T-Boone]

How is anyone here supposed to be able to confirm that?

Just make it up.
Eg:
Yes, I can confirm it.

 

[Irish#1]

Heard he was letting his finger nails grow out to increase his wing span.

Beautiful route for a long touchdown in the US Army All American Bowl!

Don’t believe it’s named the US Army game anymore.

My apologies, but it does appear that way in online reporting: https://bleacherreport.com/articles...20-breaking-down-top-recruits-in-marquee-game

Are we 100% sure this kid isn't a Hemsworth?

 

[BobbyMac]

Was he #37 on Rivals last update or is that today’s update?

He’s a 5* regardless of what any Juco Journalism dropout says.
