ND Walk-on S Luke Talich had himself a helluva State Meet in Track won 4 medals...
Won 100 (10.74) 200 (22.1) LJ (23'0) and anchored 4x100 (42.79)....Has run 10.72 and 21.8 this year, Not bad at all for a 6'3 walk-on Safety!! Very interested in seeing the progression of his career.

There are track guys that play football & football players that run track! I hope he is the latter!

His film looks pretty good on D, and seems to be very instinctive and more importantly plays fast.
Alot of his film was him playing QB
His film shows that he has good instincts, and can read coverages very well
He looks more like a football player who has legit speed, instead of a track star who was stuck on the field. He anticipates well, and makes adjustments on the fly.
Absolutely!

Wish him well!

Bright kid as well, with a high football IQ
He simply may have been a late bloomer, stuck in No-Man's Land (Wyoming).
With this kind of athleticism, I hope he proves the recruiting rankings wrong, and kicks some serious ass at ND.
Well said, was the product of a state w/weak competition in recruiting circles.
He's been an excellent player during his career and even better athlete, he even had a few Power 5 offers but gambled on himself to Walk-on at his "Dream school" ND. Seems as if he was in just about any other state he would be a 4* guy but WY has never had one in recent memory. Played against 2* competition, has 4* tools and 4* measurables.
When he first signed I said this was not a walk-on level player. Had Pac12 offers and if he....
was from even Minnesota instead of Wyoming he'd be a consensus 4* . His tape is legit and I imagine once he's on campus theyll find a place for a guy that big and fast pretty quickly. I expect he'll be all over ST early on.
Agreed, like I said above 2* competition but 4* tools and measurables! Let's see what prevails
Really think he has a chance to flourish early on Special teams with his speed and length and eventually at Safety as an upperclassmen.
Sometimes it doesnt translate...but he has more than
Enough straight line speed to play safety
Indeed, will be one of the 7 fastest players on the team from Day 1
Interestingly enough he excelled as a QB for Cody HS his SR year and threw 25TDs to 4Ints on 64%! Not bad
Nice
