'22 IA TE Eli Raridon (Notre Dame Signee)

[Riddickulous]

So is he a TE or WR?

Maybe a bit of both. I think they could use him like they used Tyler Eifert back in the day.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Seems like a Eifert kinda guy to me

 

[Irish4life]

So is he a TE or WR?

In my humble opinion, if Raridon is healthy, and is ready to play, ND should play him at both; find a way to get dynamic players on the field.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

If he's really that fast and that big, he'll be an instant contributor unless he learns the playbook at a glacial pace.

Hope he acclimates to ND life quickly.

 

[T-Boone]

What is his 100 time or 40 time?

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Is this the Kyle Hamilton of the offense?

No. Apparently he’s too fast.

 

[JJRyan]

there's a lot of talent within TE's that are ready. Utilize multiple sets. This helps the run game (with some inexperience/potentially talented OL) and this should open up 1 on 1's for the WR's /TE's Can't wait for the season to begin! Humble opinion

[Domina Nostra]

Oh no! The poor kid is wearing the same stuff that fit him when he was 12!

Some SEC team is going to poach him right off the team by offering him an NIL offer for the local Old Navy…

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Is that 315 lbs he's hang cleaning or do my eyes deceive me?

 

[rtrn2glory]

I was wondering the same thing. I can't figure that out either.

 

[benneboy]

Yeah looks like 3 wheels. Should be 315. Crazy especially what 4-5 months after acl? Took me like a year and a half to get back to normal.

 

[BCSorBust]

I literally knew this kid as a baby. What the hell man he could destroy me with one hit now.

I literally knew this kid as a baby. What the hell man he could destroy me with one hit now.

I didn’t know Loy was that powerful.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I've never cleaned 315, but of course I'm a smaller guy but that is some serious weight. Look at how long levered he is. I mean, that is serious explosive power.

This kid is going to be an absolute beast for us. Hopefully sooner than later.

 

[T-Boone]

Is he fast?

 

[FWIrish4]

Is he fast?

Are Bonita fish big?

 

[Armyirish47]

Is he fast?

Can he croon?

 

[T-Boone]

Can he croon?

He better

 

[Irishnuke]

Are Bonita fish big?

Well, FWIrish4, they are what’s called a trophy fish, so yeah, they’re pretty big.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Are Bonita fish big?

What's this guy's problem?

 

[Dale]

Gonna be #9

 

[zbikowski88]

Gonna be #9

Good number!

 

[Laker]

My favorite player in the 22 class. I think with his size, speed and quick twitch power (watch him clean) he has 3 and out type talent that we only have once or twice a class. I thought he was incredibly underrated by the services and if he grew up in an Atlanta or Dallas suburb instead of Des Moines, he's a 5 star recruit.

We are loaded in the TE room, but hopefully he can recover from his injury to get on the field this year. 12 personnel with him and Mayer would be scary, even with Eli as a freshman.

 

[Laker]

Gonna be #9

Also, the coaches giving him a single digit number as an incoming freshman mean they know he is going to be real player.

 

[arrowryan]

The TE room, in general, is stacked. Mayer and Raridon are the obvious ones. Really excited to see what Berrong and Mitchell can do

 

[KPENN]

According to Kevin Sinclair Medically cleared for camp

 

[arrowryan]

I’m pretty confident Raridon will be the #2 TE this year and a damn good one. He’s way too athletic to not play.

He should have a pretty easy transition next year as TE1.

 

[Dale]

I can see him being second amongst TEs in receptions, but have to think Bauman is a better blockers at this stage, and that’s what TE #2 is in terms of getting on the field and total snaps.

 

[Irish4life]

I can see him being second amongst TEs in receptions, but have to think Bauman is a better blockers at this stage, and that’s what TE #2 is in terms of getting on the field and total snaps.

Could use Bauman (or Berrong) in the Tremble role, and split Raridon out wide
