Why on earth would a punter need to early enroll?
This is getting out of hand. Wish the NCAA would step in to end this practice. Fat chance. At least let these kids enjoy their senior year in high school.
Agree, but to answer your question, our punter graduates this year.

Re: Why on earth would a punter need to early enroll?
I would like to see the NCAA put an end to this practice also. Let the HS kids enjoy their sr year completely.
I think the biggest advantage for early enrolles is the opportunity to acclimate academically
The kid will need to start as a freshman.
Instead of just one summer class under his belt when fall comes, he will have a full semester to get used to the rigors of being a student athlete at ND. (The adjustment to college life is not immediate for everyone.)
...AND, if they don't measure up on the football field, they get their degree and leave early.

Or, if they are NFL caliber, they can graduate in December of their Sr. year and focus on the combin
and draft prep during the spring semester.
When faced with the dilemma of a prom date, he punted.

Well done

Good to see a number of linemen on this list. Early work to gain weight and strength.

And Williams, too...
Getting there early will give him a chance to get adjusted to the complexities of this offense that place a pretty heavy burden on a running back here, including pass blocking, pass route running, catching, etc.
And Kevin Pyne?
