‘23 VA DL Armel Mukam (Notre Dame Signee)

[SouthSideChiDomer]

He is on IB right now.
Smart kid. Hockey player.

6’4, 250, 80inch wingspan at 16.
Just played his first year of football.

Is he still 16? So basically a '24 guy in the '23 class?

 

[du Lac]

I mean, if it’s his first year of football he might be better than J Moore when it’s all said and done. But it’s still a big gamble.

 

[stlnd01]

African-Canadian hockey player with basically one year of high school football under his belt and yet pretty solid ACC offers and a Stanford commit. Yeah this has Mike Elston project written all over it but those often turned out quite well.

They just talked about it, I missed some of the conversation.
He is coming from Canada, said he can graduate after one more year of HS in America.

I mean, if it’s his first year of football he might be better than Keeley when it’s all said and done. But it’s still a big gamble.

Recruiting is all a big gamble, really.

 

[Reaper97]

FIRST??

Yep.
Had a pretty good stat line for his first ever year of football too.

 

[Reaper97]

They are about to do his film now.
So you can see the breakdown in a second.

Goodness gracious, a hockey playing defensive end has me fully believing. No shortage of hip flexibility among hockey players. Measurables and film add up, I'm in on Armel

 

[T-Boone]

Cool

 

[FDNYIrish1]

6’4”” and two fiddy as a 16 year old?? Hot damn I’m in.

Said he grew up a ND hockey fan. That’s what first got his attention about ND.

 

[Dale]

This kid is probably younger than Wafle

I’m not 100% sure if he still is 16 or not.
They just said that he was 16 when he was measured over the summer.

[Dale]

The offer list is better than I expected when I clicked on his profile. Thought it was gonna be only Stanford and Virginia P5 wise from the 247 preview. Not Clemson and Georgia but not exactly nothing

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

Far from finished. I saw Freeman develop lower rated guys and making some NFL quality players.

 

[Reaper97]

Said he will play SDE.
Expect him to be around 270-275.
Said he is explosive & really strong, which makes sense being a hockey player.

6’8” wingspan and 250 lbs as a 16 y.o.?! He might become a monster!

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

Well welcome to Notre Dame young man!!

[Rockin’Irish]

Rock on Arme!!! 🤘🏼💀

 

[Reaper97]

Played only 6 games, had 10 TFL & 5 sacks, First Team All State in Virginia.

 

[GATTACA!]

Had me at 6'4" with 6'8" wing span.
He played less then a year of football, could climb a ton in the rankings with a good season

Not if he’s committed to ND.

 

[Rockin’Irish]

Book it, Armel will be a 4 star recruit by the end of his senior season in high school.

 

[Irish du Nord]

I read on UVA 247 that his parents are Ghanaian but would love to hear if we can verify. We've had quite a few players of Ghanaian descent recently including Wu, Nana, and Litchfield.
