  Okwara is garnering plenty of national attention based on who he was last year (team-leading 8 sacks and school-record 21 QB hurries). But the old script isn't nearly as impressive as the new one. He's now 6-5, 248 pounds, up from the 241 he was listed a t last season. The may not sound like a lot, but it certainly looks like it. What that looked like Thursday was Okwara relentlessly bursting past Notre Dame's best offensive lineman in 2018, right tackle Robert Hainsey, in 11-on-11 practice periods on pa ssing downs. "He's way more physical," said senior Khalid Kareem, Okwara's book end at the other end of the Irish defensive line. "He's using a lot more technique too this year. "He's always been a good technician, but he's honing that skill so much more . Watch out for Julian Okwara." - South Bend Tribune
