Tight End: #84 Thomas FanelliFanelli was an inspiring story coming out of high school but just never seemed to find his footing at Towson. After catching 559 yards and 4 TD's this last season he decided it was time to find a new home. Fanelli has the strength and skills to play anywhere on offense but his potential to be a great inline tightend makes him intriguing to teams. He's still immature and for some reason hasn't put it together in three years in an elite offense. It might be asking too much for him to finally realize his potential but i'm sure there are teams that are willing to give him a shot. A classic boom or bust type of prospect, Fanelli offers a rare versatility that makes him more valuable than his production would merit.
Picked First Round #32 by Notre Dame- Fanelli is a perfect transfer for the Irish. If there's any coach in America that can take advantage of his versatility it's Irish's John Nickell. Look for Fanelli to be worked around from tightend to offensive tackle if he shows promise in training camp. The three time champs decided to swing for the fences and Fanelli will be a project that needs to pay off.
Picked Second Round #64 by Notre Dame- Linebacker #29
Ovie Oghoufo A very high character player, Oghoufo comes to the Irish with the potential to be a captain at some point in his career. Not the fastest or most physically gifted linebacker in the class but he is solid and trustworthy. Having the potential to move to safety makes Ovie a nice versatile chess piece for the Irish coaching staff. It was very critical to add some youth to the position group and some believed Oghoufo had first round talent. The staff may redshirt the young player in year one as they look to the future while restocking the talent base.
