Definitely could play nose guard, but could also be a SDE.

I think we ought to slow down.....lets push for the 5 stars

Be careful how you wish upon a star (s). There are very few five stars and although the rankings are valid, remember these recruits have yet to play their senior year in high school.

And keep in mind not all five stars qualify for the excellence of a Notre Dame education.

Our coaches know how the recruits fit our program and have done a pretty good job so far, so trust them over the rating services.

With his height, weight, and speed (even if that 40 time is close to accurate), he seems like an ideal 3-4 end that could drop down to cover a guard in an even front ala the Army game. However, that is concerning given the size of DE recruiting class we just brought in and his stated desire for early playing time.

Having said all that, I agree that nose is a position that should be addressed as you would expect an incoming nose to take a couple of years to groom, the importance of that position to a successful 3-4, and the risk of injury.

Either way, sounds like a very interesting prospect. If the coaches want him, that's good enough for me.

Absolutely star69, Goldman is a beast! However, I just don't see any legit interest of Eddie in the Irish (This is one of the few situations in life that I would LOVE to be wrong!)

I don't think nose guard is as much of a need as some people think. Seems the coaches are going after DE and OLB with a little more sense of urgency. I think they like their depth at NG and may not wind up taking one this class.
