The Irish wrapped up two a days today with a couple practices in the Loftus Center due to overnight rains and then more rain throughout the day.
The 2007 season will be the last year Weis can hand out multiple scholarships to walk-ons. This year’s walk-ons who were given a scholarship for the year are JJ Jansen, Thomas Bemenderfer, and William David Williams.
Weis also named John Sullivan as a the fifth captain for this season.
The order of wide receivers through the drills is still Grimes, West, Parris, Gallup, Hord, Jackson, Kamara, Tate.
He hasn’t been talked about that much this summer, but Barry Gallup is a guy who I think could find his way on the field more than people think this year. He’s looked very quick and has been the forgotten man at the position this summer.
Robert Hughes has had some trouble running through the gauntlet drills at times this spring because he hasn’t been bending his knees when running through.
Armando Allen just looks a little more comfortable running through drills every day.
Jashaad Gaines could be a very physically imposing safety with a little bit more weight. It looks like he has the frame to accommodate it as well.
Put a #83 jersey on Robby Parris and it would be like watching Jeff Samardzija all over again.
It’s an achievement and an honor for a walk-on to win a scholarship at Notre Dame. Congratulations to the players named above, and to Wade Iams, who was also awarded a scholarship.
