'22 SC LB Jaylen Sneed (Notre Dame Signee)

[LifelongFan]

Stud. Something clicked and he's there now. Nasty game from our linebackers really.

 

[NDFAN2008]

Crazy to think but he has 2 more years of egibility after this year

Man I really, really hope Freeman can convince him to stay.

His play really covered for Ausberry at rover. Rough game. Had the uninvyiable task of matching up with Warren a bunch of times

I don't know why he wouldn't at this point. Unless he doesn't want to play school or gets a big money offer we don't want to match, he's playing a ton and will continue to play more next year and is thriving in this system.

A lot of snaps will come available when Kiser moves on.

 

[irishff1014]

This sounds pretty good.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

At the start of the season, I was one of those guys who though "maybe it doesn't fully click for Sneed and he goes somewhere else to get $" but the way he has played to end the season coupled with his increased snap counts, show how much the staff value him.

I think he's a "must keep" player for the staff. They've poured too many hours into his development to watch him go somewhere else and ball. The LB group was very good this year, they could be freaky next year with all of the athleticism and experience. I want to see a full year of a healthy, lightbulb-on Sneed.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

This sounds pretty good.

 

[irishandy]

This sounds pretty good.

He gets it, is believing it, and buying in. Not only do I think he'll be back next season, but he will be impactful next season.

How many snaps did Sneed play tonight? He's been playing his best football and he was basically a no show tonight.

I mean, the whole defense was sort of a no show tonight…

According to the box score I saw, he was credited with only one tackle tonight.

 

[MacIrish75]

Cue Hawk Harrelson:

“He gone.”

 

[stpeteirish]

Don’t think they used him much. Mostly played five DBs and four Dlm

 

[NDFAN2008]

Don’t think they used him much. Mostly played five DBs and four Dlm

Which makes zero since he’s our best pass rusher

I did not see him much at all. He is a liability as a tackler, perhaps they wanted to go with the most consistency. But, tacking was not great tonight anyway — mostly because OSU was good (and many on our D are still fairly young).

 

[Edge]

They went with Bowen and KVA bulk of game. Sneed played very little. Head scratcher

 

[ozzman]

I had the ND radio broadcast going on espn and at one point mid 4th quarter they said Sneed was helped off the field after a play

 

[Dale]

Georgia and PSU were in 12 personnel a ton. Hence 3 LBs. OSU was not. The pash rush snaps that were there went to KVA

 

[EvilleIrish]

This might be bad.

 

[irishu]

Relax, bedwetters

If he transfers, he transfers. Let’s wait to find out

 

[NDPhilly]

Starters should be very good, but Depth at LB isn’t great. Going to need some young guys to take major steps forward.

Can people show concern if he does transfer or will people be told, “relax bedwetters we have guys to replace him”?

 

[NDFAN2008]

Transfering would make zero sense he probally doesn't have his degree yet and he has 2 years left to play. He could come back get his degree and be a 3rd-4th round draft pick maybe second round. He will probally be playing a ton at LB and lining up some at vyper too.

[NDFAN2008]

Does anyone know why he barely played against Ohio State? I feel like we could of used him in obvious blitzing and 3rd down plays.

Rumors he was set to transfer at end of season around mid-season, virtually didn't play in title game after tearing up the playoffs, DC is moving on, and his film will garner big offers? The recipe is there.

This isn't hard to fathom. Significant role players off a title contender make for stud starters at second tier U. Cryptic messages like that get the phone ringing and ND staff prioritizing your contract as retention is a top priority. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
