Walker Lyons on Hudl

 

[clashmore_mike]

Ian Book is a "good family friend" who has been in Lyons' ear about everything Notre Dame can offer him and Lyons is making the trip basically because of Book.

 

[Irish#1]

Ian the salesman!

 

[BobbyMac]

I'm making the trip out there really because of him and what he's told me about

That and he'd already planned to go to MI and OSU because they offered.

I hope he gets offered. I like how he moves as a receiving TE more than Robocop Mac Markway at this point. That's not a dig on Markway. He's the highest floor TE in the class and is built like a college Soph right now.

You're going to TE-U! Which is located a half hour from the Northcoast!

Big fan of Platt....wouldn't mind ND attempting to flip him tbh

 

[dublinirish]

decommitted from Stanford

decommitted from Stanford

My guess (no inside info) is USC. He was apparently at the USC-ND game.

Gross.

 

[Old Man Mike]

Our TE looked better than theirs.

 

[dublinirish]

hasn't signed yet but did visit Stanford last weekend after the new coach was hired

 

[dublinirish]

would be a big L if he spurned USC

I think we should be selling TE's on the value of NFL earning. Since 2011 when Rudolph was drafted, here are the ND TE's in the NFL. That's 10 in 12 years, some who were not starters at ND. NIL be damned.

Player	Draft Year	Drafted	Career Earning ($m)	At ND
Kyle Rudolph	2011​	2nd Round	59.9​	Starter
Tyler Eifert	2013​	1st Round	26.3​	Starter
Troy Niklas	2014​	2nd Round	4.3​	Starter
Ben Koyack	2015​	7th Round	2.2​	Starter
Durham Smythe	2018​	4th Round	8.5​	Starter
Alize Mack	2019​	7th Round	0.1​	Backup
Cole Kmet	2020​	2nd Round	6.2 plus future​	Starter
Tommy Tremble	2021​	3rd Round	4.9 plus future​	Backup
Brock Wright	2021​	UFA	1.3 plus future​	Backup
Michael Mayer	2023​	Projected 1st	??	Starter

Eifert only made $10.9M? Something seems wrong w that.

Spotrac has him just over $26M. A fine career but man oh man what could have been without the injuries.

Last I heard he was planning on going on an LDS mission before going to school.

Riley may be gone by then, who knows.
