[BobbyMac]

A name to eventually know. ND analyst just started following him.

Dad's from Austin area and that seems to be the favorite. Long way to go.

What an offer list for a kid that is in '27 class. One of the best I've seen for such a young player. Sounds like he's the absolute real deal. UGA and Ohio St aren't offering you if you're not worthy, especially as you're about to enter your sophomore year of hs.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Sounds like he's reclassified to 2026

 

[SoIll]

Mater Dei. No chance

They need to jump on him fast and make a big deal about it. He's gonna have a monster year. Had a monster year for them last year considering he plays on the most talented team in the country and put up those #'s.

 

[Irish4life]

I'm sure Sark or Riley will be excited to land his services

 

[SoIll]

Mater Dei. No chance

Last Mater Dei guy at ND was Joe Schmidt, correct? Before him, Brad Williams?

I was thinking Derek Landri but he was De La Salle

 

[Giddyup]

Wasn’t Joe Schmidt a walk on?

 

[Irishnuke]

I'm not sure why we can't land any Mater Dei kids. It used to be a USC feeder school but those days are over. Oregon is balls deep in that school so maybe they want a bag, but even before NIL we weren't landing any of their kids.

 

[T-Boone]

From that photo he looks like he would like hanging out with Chanse Stuckey.

Yes, but he was a PWO. The last scholarship recruit that ND signed from Mater Dei was when Ty Willingham was our HC.

A lot of these powerhouse programs, though Catholic like Mater Dei, Gorman, Aquinas, etc really have more in common with football factories than ND.

 

[BobbyMac]

If ND goes all in on guys at these schools, they'll get their share. If you can pull KVA and Madden F, you can pull more.

Not saying he'd be your first TE choice in a class but this guy woulda 100% been Irish if offered.


There's plenty of ND leaners in Orange County and up north LA/Valley playing in the Mission League (or whatever it's called now) like Junior T.

You just can't pass up going all in on guys like Mason Graham and you have to land your Mosleys.

 

[BobbyMac]

And the last Mater Dei guy was PWO OL Sam Bush.

Great watch.

That one got me choked up.

Allegedly trying to schedule a visit.

[NDpendent]

Man, I don't even know who to pull for on this list. I guess Ole Miss

 

[calvegas04]

Oregon or Ole Miss

 

[Irish du Nord]

Man, I don't even know who to pull for on this list. I guess Ole Miss

I'd go with Oregon. Paper tiger that we don't play.

 

[Irishnuke]

Did we not even offer?

 

[ab2cmiller]

 

[GrangerIrish24]

poor kid

 

[MacIrish75]

Can’t wait until he wants to take a few visits…

 

[Pete]

Shocked that a Mater Dei kid is going to Southern Cal, just shocked.
