1) ND's history with 3* TE's is pretty good

Marcus Freeman '02
John Carlson '03
Will Yeatman '06
Tyler Eifert '09
Tommy Tremble '18

2) He's a 3* right now, and he doesn't even play the position for which he is being recruited by everyone. But when he did play it, he looked really solid as a hands catcher and pretty aggressive run blocker. It is actually a bit of an unusual situation.

3) He's 6'7" now and has been growing and putting on weight. He was only 5'9" in 8th grade. Was only 6'2" - 6'3" as a Soph and I think 6'5" as a Junior. Lots of changes in that body. But the fluid hands and footwork is there. Family athletic history is very good. Sister was SEC volleyball freshman of the year last year. Her athleticism is impressive.

4) If there is one position Kelly has shown he can judge athletic talent over his career it is TE. He recruited to Central Michigan JJ Watt (Transferred to Wiscy to play DL after a productive first year at TE) and Frank Zombo (ultimately moved to DE/OLB where he played in NFL for 9 years) and he recruited Travis Kelce to Cincy. All three were 2* high school TE's he recruited.

5) At 6'7" this guy would be the tallest since Rudolph (assuming he really is 6'7").

Trivial: Zombo (GB) and Kelce (KC) now both have SB rings. *

Conner Barwin also started at TE became AA at DE

and nice NFL career from UC

Nit: Barwin was a Dantonio recruit *
