Fine.

Faraimo - Awesome. Wired right. Can really run around the field. Gonna be a good one/

Blair - freak show. Everything they thought and more with athleticism and length.

Hebert - Underrated. 4.6 kid with athleticism and arm talent.

Herron - Rudolph views as the best center in the country (from ‘25 class). 290 right now, really long (arm length), already one of the twitchiest players on the OL. Strong as hell.

4.6 for a throwing QB ain’t bad. Is he known as a decent runner?

Herron is twitchy....hmmm, i know someone wants him on the DL

Yes, he was a very good runner in HS.

There were games in which he was more dominant with his legs.

He’s got an arm; but was not consistent with his passes. They were a few games where he was in that 50% completion range, but his receivers also dropped more than a few.

Maybe he is Leonard 2.0

Sounds like a red zone/short yardage specialist his first couple years!

 

[CanadalovesND]

I think they view him as Leonard 2.0, but can develop his passing ability for four to five years - not nine months.

Think we’re getting carried away with Hebert’s running ability a little to comp him to Leonard. He’s got solid modern QB running traits, doesn’t really sniff Leonard’s realm athletically.

He's Ian Book without the Keough sink anecdote.

Flowers is currently on campus highly rated corner high 4 star. Reclassified from 2026-2025 we weren’t apart of his top 6 but offered after he announced he reclassed.

 

[notredomer23]

Idk if the board can handle that commitment because on the composite, that would make 2025 the best recruiting class on paper of the Freeman era

 

[zelezo vlk]

This seems awfully late to reclassify and ND be a player. Yet another data point that admissions is playing ball

 

[NDPhilly]

Yeah I mean a kid from Northwestern HS reclassifying and getting admitted + picking ND seems like a fucking dream.

 

[lcaps20]

Yeah I agree, still can be a good sign that they are getting him on campus though.

Also....*shrugs* maybe some Mickens magic?

Northwestern seems to have really improved academically in the last decade or so.

 

[Cpnd1]

I remember there was another prospect in a similar situation last year and nothing materialized, but would be sick to add this guy

I forget who exactly, but IIRC they said they were going to visit and never did. Nice to get this guy on campus under the radar with no prior reporting.

Dallas Golden to WR confirmed

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

What a massive add he'd be. Just watched his track highlights from earlier this year, kid is crazy fast. Might be one of the rare athletes that could play on either side with that acceleration.

Let's be very clear, though, for as fast as he is you watch his football highlights and he's a football player. Undoubtedly.

Physical, good in coverage, can tackle. This would be an exciting guy to bring in.

 

[gregm83]

So is this actually trending our way. Where is Merc?

Buddy….sit down. I have some news.

 

[notredomer23]

Florida/Miami probably, ND making up ground and pushing hard

 

[NDhoosier]

How would he even classify as '25, didnt the final signing period already come and go?

 

[IAIrish]

Florida/Miami probably, ND making up ground and pushing hard

Does he value winning or staying home?

I'm intrigued that he's even an option, academically. Could be the progress Merkxe and Bua referenced.

Anyone know if we're getting a visit? Looks like he just wrapped visits to Miami and Syracuse

1. You underestimate how much of a pull these South Florida kids have to stay home. Almost everyone in this kid's orbit - coaches, teachers, etc. - will most likely have some affiliation with Miami, UF or FSU.

2. Northwestern has made huge strides in its academic status as a school. It's not the place it was 10-15 years ago.
