Here is a guy who has one start over 3 years, due to Hartman sitting out the bowl game, and was recruited over for a grad transfer. A 3-star recruit, while he has shown competence during limited opportunities, absent his stand-up performance when Leonard went down in the national semi-final, what is the big deal outside of the ND circle?
Both ESPN and The Athletic has his transfer (to a team that is below .500 in a pretty average conference over the last 9 years) on their story leads. It seems he is getting as much ink as Carson Beck, a guy who got $4.3M, started 27 games, going 24-3 for one of the best programs in the country.
While it is noteworthy to our ND world, I guess it must mean that the folks who say ND isn't relevant need to adjust their thinking.
