He was listed as the number 2 RT in week 2. He was played as a blocking TE after Carmody and Baker showed deficiencies at LT. Then took the job against Cincinnati.

Robert Hainsey was a starter as a true frosh on ND's 2017 Joe Moore award winning OL at 290 lbs

I’m thinking this is more of Zeke Correll than Hainsey. Hainsey at least had some length. Zeke was 295 on his best days, 6’3” with smaller arms

The competition in MA isn't the greatest, but the CM coaching staff is second to none in the New England area. I don't expect Guerby to start this year but I think it's more likely than not that both he and Traore become quality players during their time at ND. The reason I believe that is because their staff has a very good track record. They have developed several players that have gone on to play in the NFL, hung around on a practice squad/been signed as a UDFA, or became solid contributors during their FBS careers. The staff came over from Everett, a public HS just outside of Boston, in 2018. Their last Everett team, in 2017, has had 3 players drafted (Lewis Cine, Isaiah Likely, Mike Sainristil). Josaiah Stewart, who now starts at Michigan, was a Freshman on that team and will be drafted next year. Of those 4 players, only Cine was a blue-chip recruit.

Wagner is 6'6. He's closer to Hainsey frame than Correll. He's got very long arms.

He’s closer to a tall/long te frame than RT.. that’s the main issue

How many elite pass rushers did Joe Alt see in HS ball in Minnesota?

As a TE…
He played OL his senior year. You are on fire with being wrong about Alt.

I was going for Stretch Armstrong, but that works too.

“The fact that Alt can play any role at all in a possible improvement of Notre Dame’s offensive line speaks to his incredible personal transformation from playing mostly tight end his last two years at Totino-Grace. Position changes aren’t new for Alt. He started his high school career as a freshman quarterback before moving to linebacker as a sophomore and tight end as a junior.”
How Joe Alt transformed from high school tight end to Notre Dame's starting left tackle
Joe Alt came to Notre Dame as a former high school tight end with little offensive tackle experience. Now he's starting at left tackle for the Irish.

5. Former tight end
“And in his junior year Alt continued to move around the field, playing defensive end and tight end before ultimately getting more snaps on the offensive line as a blocking tight end in his final year.”

And I said coaches don’t trust freshman OT, which is true. That is not disproven by showing a freshman EE started, especially when the position had zero depth. 1) Coaches do all kinds of things they don’t want to do when they have to. 2) early enrolling allows you to get much more comfortable with a lineman.
There are lots of cases of freshman filling in holes in desperate situations, and lots of examples of superstars, including Quentin Nelson, sitting as a freshman.
Joe Alt was behind two upperclassmen because he was a freshman, not because all 3 guys got the same shot/reps and Baker and Carmody beat him out. Baker, especially, looked like he did not belong-plodding and slow.
The point is its much harder for a freshman OL to get a legitimate shot to compete for the job. There generally just isn't enough time. That is working against Lambert.

Except, you didn't.
He was the #5 OL coming out of camp and an injury away from snaps after 1 half of college football.
I apologize for my part. I'm aware that player threads rarely get off the topic of the player, so my bad.

Not players we like
Nah, I get it. I had to ignore a certain thread in the 2023 forum.

Dear goodness you're being unpleasant. I thought you were calling out post #634.
And if ND7983 saw him practicing at TE, why are you treating it as so unthinkable? It's not a leap that the coaches were trying to get a hyper-athletic future OT on the field sooner rather than later by stacking him as a jumbo TE? It could have been a few scattered practice periods.
It's not inconsistent at all with him being a future LT. Stanford used to love that kind of formation.

If he transfers to the U... It is our duty.
Until then, here is the new IE mascot that combines the ever important topic of NIL and our obsession with the taco.
Wagner should have moved to d tackle. Could be an NFL prospect at 3 tech.

He could be a NFL prospect at tackle too. Has 3 years of eligibility and a chance to start in his redshirt sophomore year.
I’m not familiar with too many NFL tackles that weigh in at under 300 and or struggle to even get to that weight. We’ll see I guess.

Studious Lambert Strikes Aggressive Pose on the Football Field
Notre Dame made sense for the nation’s top 50 prospect in the Class of 2024. The academic-athletic component topped Harvard’s. Joe Alt explained the feasibility of a life balance. First-round OL draft choices are Notre Dame’s specialty. And oh, that right tackle spot remains there for the taking.
