‘23 VA DL Armel Mukam (Notre Dame Signee)

[NDFAN2008]

Mullins had like 50 snaps mostly in garbage time. Hughes had like 250 FWIW.

I think we’re probably, given the DT class coming in at a point where it’s likely not gonna happen with Mullins. Tweeners don’t work out sometimes, could transfer down or find some scheme that might be unique enough to fit in. Maybe a 3 DL type front that 6’4 280 plays in better. Mukam has the advantage that Mullins does not, that 6’3 300+ is tough to give up on.

I wonder if they move Mullins back to edge?

It’s funny, but I do wonder why they didn’t keep him at end. We could use another one about now.

His visits in January were reportedly Virginia and Georgia Tech. I guess can you get the level of production that someone in the two deep at either of those can provide is your floor.

FWIW Virginia is the local but had pretty good portal evals last season

Pretty good places to get your Master’s, to put it lightly. Plus good weather, closer to home, strong program cultures. It wouldn’t shock me if he turned down bigger names in favor of those two schools.

That was my thought over the winter after signing the portal class. Drop 10lbs and add depth at SDE.

In fairness to me, we had just lost Keon and DL recruiting was in such rough shape it was a pretty dire situation. I've been very impressed with Mukam's development and was so glad that he decided to come back this year.

I was pretty high on Boobie Traore from the jump, his film was damn good and you could tell how good of a raw athlete he was

Not dogging you at all. I remember it well and had similar thoughts and probably some darker thoughts about my life and ND football at that time.
