I would assume as a top 10 recruit and even just as a composite 5 star, they project him for tackle. It's rare to see any offensive lineman outside of tackles as 5 stars.
Urbie is still wanting him, but I think he's all Irish. Fantastic guy to start this class off. Heistand has turned into quite the recruiter.

Sounds good. You can tell he's excited about the offer. Think we have a good chance of getting him. Below is a list of of notable juniors visiting for ND's "junior day" on March 21:

 

DE Auston Robertson

DE Josh King

DE Ron Johnson

OT Michael Jordan

LB Tuf Borland

WR Brad Hawkins Jr

CB Julian Love

Got one for you. A good one at that. Khalid Kareem is now visiting for junior day on March 21. 4 star defensive end and rated the 13th best in the country. Had 19 sacks last year and recently decommited from Michigan St. Also, he knows the new dline coach Keith Gilmore and thinks highly of him.

 

Kareem's rivals:

Kid looks like tough as nails. Very excited about the possibilities at defensive end in this class.

Scout has him at6'1", 200, #2 Tennessee safety, #13 S nationally, #217 overall nationally.

 

247 composite has him at 6'2", 195, #3 Tennessee CB, #14 CB nationally, #144overall nationally.

Just a random thought...

 

I would like to take a pass catching fullback this cycles and not a traditional rb.

 

This would be a good compliment for the the 2 current recruits and set up the 2017 cycle. Adams might GS. Dexter likely to get some time.

 

This would be 2 years behind Luatua for h-back.

A lot of offers have been handed out in the last few weeks. Looks like ND is in very good shape with Julian Love (if offered, most think he commits right away), Chauncey Gardner, Roderick Campbell, and Julian Okwara.

 

Mack and Robertson have both announced they will be going to Junior Day on March 21st, and Robertson in particular seems to be cooling on Ohio St.

Good news about Robertson cooling on TOSU. He seriously needs to hit the weights but we have to be able to keep top Indiana talent when it comes. He and King are top targets and would be helpful on the camp tours to bring in other recruits.

As Notre Dame’s new coaching staff comes together, the Irish will refocus their efforts on the 2016 recruiting class.

One of the first waves of new offers to 2016 prospects came this week. The first offer came on Monday and was followed by four more on Wednesday. Here’s a closer look at the five recruits reporting new Irish offers:

DB Joejuan Williams, 6-2, 195; Nashville (Tenn.) Father Ryan: The four-star recruit reported an offer from the Irish on Monday. Notre Dame joined a list of more than two dozen schools who have already offered Williams. SEC powerhouses Alabama, Auburn and LSU are all on his list.

Williams made 48 tackles, broke up 11 passes and caught two interceptions in his junior season at Father Ryan. His school hosted the Irish for a practice before the Music City Bowl in December.

Rivals ranks Williams as the No. 8 safety and No. 89 overall in the class. 247Sports slates him as the No. 18 cornerback and No. 211 regardless of position.

QB Jarrett Guarantano, 6-4, 200; Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic: The four-star prospect reported a Notre Dame offer Wednesday. Nearly 30 schools have already offered scholarships to Guarantano including Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Rutgers.

Guarantano completed 97 of his 153 passes for 1,163 yards and 14 touchdowns in seven games as a junior. He also rushed for 547 yards and five touchdowns. His season was cut short with a broken wrist.

Rivals ranks Guarantano as the No. 4 dual-threat quarterback and No. 91 regardless of position in the class. 247Sports slates him as the No. 5 pro-style quarterback and No. 106 overall.

ATH Mecole Hardman, 5-11, 170; Elberton (Ga.) County: The four-star recruit reported an offer from the Irish on Wednesday. Hardman’s list of nearly 20 offers includes Georgia, Auburn, and Clemson.

Hardman played quarterback and some cornerback in his junior season. In seven games, Hardman rushed for 946 yards and 10 touchdowns. He also completed 23 of his 44 passes for 407 yards and three touchdowns.

Rivals ranks Hardman as the No. 6 multi-positional athlete and No. 98 regardless of position in the class. 247Sports slates him as the No. 21 cornerback and No. 231 overall.

CB Roderick Campbell, 6-0, 180; St. Louis Chaminade: The three-star prospect reported a Notre Dame offer Wednesday. The Irish became the eighth school to offer Campbell and joined the likes of Duke, Louisville and Northwestern.

Campbell’s athleticism stood out at last summer’s Irish Invasion camp. He went on to record 40 tackles and six interceptions in his junior season at Chaminade. Rivals ranks Campbell as the No. 28 cornerback in the class.

CB Troy Warner, 6-2, 180; San Marcos (Calif.) Mission Hills: The Irish became one of three schools to offer Warner on Wednesday. New offers from Notre Dame, Utah and Washington State joined Boston College and BYU as his five offers so far.

Warner, who played cornerback and wide receiver as a junior, intercepted eight passes last season. 247Sports slates Warner as a four-star prospect, the No. 5 cornerback and No. 92 regardless of position in the class. Rivals rates him as a three-star recruit and the No. 25 cornerback.

Top 10 for Gardner

One of Notre Dame’s top cornerback targets in the 2016 has shown mutual interest in the Irish. Four-star recruit Chauncey Gardner named Notre Dame one of his top 10 schools Wednesday.

The 6-0, 190-pound cornerback from Cocoa, Fla., listed the Irish alongside Florida, LSU, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Florida State, Penn State, Louisville and Miami as his top choices.

Gardner made 49 tackles and three interceptions as a junior at Cocoa High, the same school that produced Irish running back Tarean Folston. Rivals ranks Gardner as the No. 2 cornerback and No. 71 regardless of position in the 2016 class. 247Sports slates him No. 19 at the position and No. 215 overall.

Thanks for posting that info Domer Dude! I love talking recruiting, and I'm starting to get really pumped for the 2016 class.

I am also. I'm also starting to think Gilmore is going to do very well at dline for the this team and may prove to be an underrated hire. Kids seem to like him. If he could start killing it at dline for ND, that would prove enormously beneficial for the program.

I have the same feeling. Multiple recruits have already mentioned that they love the hire.
