Good timing. Went to get his highlight tweet and his ND offer tweet was 1 minute old.

Still got it.

Yes, it's Brian Urlacher's kid.

Holy shit I feel old

MFMF hitting the NFL bloodlines in the classes of 2024 and 2025

So Freeman and Laurinaitis have to land Urlacher’s son, right? I mean, they’re putting together LB U. Of course he wants in.

 

[bumpdaddy]

Here's his hudl. No surprise... he likes to hit dudes.

And he must have grown up in Chicago for a little while, right? How long has urlacher been out (he says without googling)?

Yes, the burbs. Very bizarre story how he ended up with his dad in Arizona.

I hope nothing but good fortune for this kid considering the crap his mother and father have put him through during his upbringing.

Urlacher was "shaking and his lips were quivering" when Freeman extended the offer. Plans to visit in the Spring and has learned a lot about ND following the visit/offer.

his whole dating/marriage history is wild AF

Right. And this recruit's mother tried to extort Michael Flatley. Yes, Riverdance Michael Flatley.

Care to elaborate for some of us who don't follow the Bears or didn't follow Urlacher as closely as some?

Google will guide you. Brian Urlacher and Tyna Robertson.

If anyone is looking for the blessed Chicago connection to ND, just go back to the Justin Scott thread. You're grasping for straws here.

Well, that was a ride. Dayum.

 

[Irishnuke]

I went down a rabbit hole after googling this kid and his dad. Holy shit. Hopefully we can keep that stuff out of his thread.

Like I said, I wish this kid nothing but the best in life. I hope he rises above the situations he's been put in to this point.

From last spring:

When did he get the Wisconsin offer, before or after Fickell was named HC?

Gallegos and Urlacher would be a fine start at safety for this class.

I assume Urlacher's NIL potential is good wherever he goes, but having his last name with the ND brand behind it probably speaks to some good money coming in right?

Nobody ever turns down $, but let’s be real, he doesn’t need it like most recruits.

I really believe he’s a Rover in college. His dad had a similar trajectory at NM, where he was basically a LB/S hybrid before becoming an absolute monster MLB in the NFL.

They need 3 Safeties in this class. McClain has to be the top target, assuming Tae Johnson isn’t going to qualify/wants to be a WR. McClain, Gallegos, Urlacher is an above average haul and probably the best they could hope for.

 

[Luckylucci]

I agree, I think Urlacher is more hybrid defender (Rover, Sniper, big Nickel, etc.) than he is a S.

McClain seems like "the guy" right now. Seems like he's the top "realistic" target at the present. Maybe that changes after visits but him and Gallegos do seem to be the best realistic targets right now.

Where I disagree, is I'd be prepared to take 4-5 S's this cycle. They simply cannot miss on numbers or talent this cycle. They need to start over recruiting the position so they have more options. And, S's offer a lot of position flex and ST's value depending on the types of athletes you bring in.
