‘26 CT OT Charlie Thom (Notre Dame Verbal)

[Rocketman84]

Anyone check in on PSU?

 

[Crazy Balki]

Marcus sealed the deal with Charlie with a nice milk steak served with jelly beans.

 

[FWIrish4]

Myself and Jamie U think he moves incredibly well for his size (it’s because he does).

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I read that numbers comparison to other elite OTs and it's really incredible how well his numbers profile him as an elite prospect. Let him work with Landow a couple years and see if he isn't taking one of our tackle spots for 2 years. This OL room is going to be incredible

The stuff that can't be taught seems to be taking care of itself.

Teach this dude to play ball, now. Should be exciting.

I still shudder to think of what he looks like coming at you on a lacrosse field. Yowzers.

Speaking of things that can’t be taught and the OLine, Gregory Patrick was noted for his toughness at the Rivals camp by Adam Gorney

Rivals Five-Star: Gorney Awards

The marquee high school football event of the summer has wrapped up in Indianapolis.

I have similar feelings about this OLine class, a ton of potential and size already in spades

So he'll be a 5th year high schooler this year according to Driskell

Some people on this board are against it but I think regardless if it happens this year or next Knapp will be moved inside. Black will be your starting LT sooner than later. He is that good.

correct he's doing a prep school year to learn/play OT, he'd played TE prior.

Maybe but even if that happens I think it's more likely Wagner stays another year than not which would require Black beating out Lambert.

4* on Rivals/On3 now. #206 nationally and #21 OT

 

[Henges24]

I have a weird feeling this kid will catch a TD or two before he leaves ND. Think he plays OL, assuming that’s his intended position.

I was able to catch one of his games this year. He's raw but he gets off the ball well and has a lot of potential. If he can continue to fill out and keep his athleticism, he has a chance to be really good at ND. NDFAN2008 will like this, he also had a nice sack late in the game to preserve the victory. His team won the Class A NEPSAC Championship on Saturday, finishing with an undefeated record.

Rating went from 87->89 in latest 247 update. Still unranked nationally but a 4* composite

Prister is gonna have a field day with his film room review. Thom falls on every guy he pancakes.

He already looks massive on film, but that may be in relation to the competition.

 

[Irish#1]

He's got some Q "finish the dude" in him.

 

[allenm5333]

I live in upstate NY and I was working out and saw a young kid wearing an Avon shirt. He actually just graduated with Charlie. Spoke highly of Charlie. Also said MF tried to get him to reclassify

Reclassify as in what he did? Or graduate normally?

Avon is one of those weird schools. But how he made it sound was that Thom was offered to be part of the Black, Augustine, etc. class. If that were to have happened, it would have been 5 per class instead of 4 and 6

 

[Old Man Mike]

5 & 5 vs 4 & 6 though is not that big of a deal in the almost-all-redshirt-freshman year OLine world. And it's only an unusually great OLiner that goes early to the pros (our guys hammer it out.)

Man i am just telling you what he told me. Not an opinion lol

 

[Dale]

I feel like it would be the opposite, we (and PSU, others) were part of convincing him to reclassify to the 2026 class. Otherwise he was a nobody TE recruit as a 2025 guy.
