Could be the NT of the class.

He's already made two visits to ND, which is surprising because both visits came before his junior year. His interest in ND is legit and ND does like him as a prospect.

getting the last visit before the end of summer visits... I believe he mentioned he wanted to make a decision before his senior season started. ND could have the last visit before his decision.

What's the decision date? Looks like he's not OVing anywhere for months...

Gotcha. So he's got an announcement planned in May and OV's scheduled to his "top three" in June (per 247 anyway). I guess one or the other of those things will be real. Recruiting's confusing. But this one does seem to be trending to the good guys.

His rankings vs offer list are crazy. He’s a mid 3 star on both 247 and On3, but has offers from Texas, A&M, Georgia, LSU, USC, Oregon, Miami etc…

Crappy junior tape?

In 18 months he went from a 96 to a 90, I don't really get it either. He doesn't have elite height/weight for a NT, I guess, but I wouldn't expect that to put him outside the top 300. He had over 100 tackles as a junior so the film couldn't have been that bad, right?

His film is fine.

Despite possessing strong measurable attributes, he isn't considered a standout athlete. His athletic limitations will limit his potential, which is why sites like On3 and 24/7, which prioritize factors like NFL potential and athletic upside, tend to rate players like Hola less favorably.

Film was good. Played more of a read-and-react style, which some of the evaluators might misconstrue as a lack of athleticism and get off. I saw the opposite. Very strong hands meant he was able to get off blocks easily or put the OL off balance. Pretty quick on plays when he has to be quick, as well as in the muck finding the ball and making the tackle.

He doesn't seem like the type that will chase down RBs or QBs in the backfield, but can definitely be a disruptive force in the middle, especially if he can add strength and weight in a college program.

That was the impression I got as well, but I believe I was watching the sophomore tape which was the most recent one on his 247 profile.
