It only takes one. What I like about the current status of the program is that for the first time in many years, we have quality depth and we’re continuing to build.
Another big Portal addition. Malachi Fields an excellent WR from UVA will be on the squad in 2025 Like Alabama safety, Devona Smith, he's a grad transfer.
Both Irish basketball teams got easy wins vs inferior competition and are off till the end of the year when ACC play starts. The Ladies are the top ACC team, the men will struggle to be a .500 team but once they get Markus Burton back maybe we can pull some upsets.
Ben Nichols OL commits. Nichols graded out as a 4.0-star player with a Top 250 overall projection on the Irish Breakdown board. He also earned a four-star grade from Rivals, On3 and ESPN. On3 ranks him as the No. 207 overall player in the country, ESPN ranks him No. 235 and Rivals ranks him No. 242. On top of offers from his four finalists, Nichols also had offers from Alabama, Ohio State, Florida State, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan State, Indiana, Illinois, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Purdue, Virginia Tech and Minnesota.
Tim, you can never have too many good players on the offensive line. Sounds like an nice addition for the Irish!
Irish have picked up several grad transfers (Portal) guys this last week, 1 TE from Arkansas, and a WR from UVA and Wisconsin. Hopefully we can pick up a couple a couple of big DL's to stuff the middle of the line as well.
