07/18/22 - Ty Washington, rJr/2027, Notre Dame, 6-4, 248 (DS#999 TE) + More +

Ty Washington won't need a phasing-in period for any of the multiple uses of the tight end at Arkansas. The polished 6-2, 240-pounder did it all at Lee County (Ga.) as a three-year starter. "I played everywhere," Washington said. "I was split out. Outside, inside, hand in the ground, as a fullback, behind the line. It didn't really matter. I played every way that they needed me." When the Kendal Briles offense is in full flow, the tight end is all over the place, as an in-line blocker, a split-out pass catcher or a motioning H-back lead blocker. "It's the same thing here really, just everywhere," Washington said. "It hasn't changed. That makes it easier on me, not just having to learn just one position, hand down or something. I know everything about the playbook and knowing all the things I have to do, from slot, hand in the ground, fullback, tight end. That makes it easier."

Washington played prep ball at a Class 6A school that led the state of Georgia with 40 graduates on college football rosters in 2019. Coach Dean Fabrizio felt the impact of Washington's loss while going through spring drills with the Trojans. "What Tyrus does, and we're really feeling that now, was he fills the role of three guys," Fabrizio said. "He's got the ability to put his hand in the ground next to a tackle and down block and double team people. He's got the ability to line up in the backfield and kick people out or isolate on people. And he's got the ball skills to split out wide and catch the ball, too. "So he really creates a big personnel advantage for an offensive coach...There's a lot of guys who run out there and catch balls. A lot of guys can put their hand on the ground and block. There ain't a lot who can do both." - Northwest Arkansas Times

07/17/22 - Mitchell Evans, Sr/2025, Notre Dame, 6-5, 258 (DS#9 TE) + More +

Sophomore tight end Mitchell Evans suffered a broken foot during offseason workouts and underwent surgery on Thursday morning to repair the fifth metatarsal bone on the outside of his foot, Notre Dame announced. Evans, who had two receptions last season while appearing in all 13 games, was projected along with Kevin Bauman as the primary backups to All-American tight end Michael Mayer. According to the release, the Irish consider Evans probable to return to play at some point in the fall.

According to MountSinai.org, surgery on a fifth metatarsal typically requires a cast to be worn for 6-8 weeks. The fifth metatarsal is the most commonly fractured of the five metatarsal bones in the foot, according to the site. A three-star recruit from Wadsworth (Ohio) High School, Evans is 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds and impressed the coaching staff this spring with his downfield receiving ability. "He's got a chance to be a special route runner," new tight ends coach Gerad Parker said in April. "Mitch has got really unlimited resources in the pass game." - South Bend Tribune

Multiple sources told The Times that the Big Ten will not be adding another Pac-12 school at this time. It would have been a natural assumption that a pairing of Oregon and Washington would follow their longtime conference brethren, but that is off the Big Ten's board for now. Maybe the preferences of USC and UCLA - Fox's priority because of the the brands and the Los Angeles market - have something to do with that?. That means Notre Dame will be the next driver in any movement with the Big Ten, which has long coveted the Fighting Irish for all of the obvious reasons - brand power, football tradition, academic reputation and location.

If Notre Dame rebuffs the Big Ten and elects to stay independent in football and play other sports in the Atlantic Coast Conference, it's possible the Big Ten takes a pause and continues to consider the remaining Pac-12 brands and ACC brands that fit the Big Ten model, such as North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia Tech. But, make no mistake, Notre Dame is the ultimate get and the Big Ten has more to offer the Irish than ever before - a chance to share a conference with historic rival USC along with other rivals Michigan, Purdue and Michigan State; a chance to shoot its take from media rights into a new stratosphere; and a chance to assure itself of a rightful place at the power brokers' table going forward. Notre Dame has to be getting the itch. If it isn't, its longtime TV partner NBC will have good reason to nudge it into considering the Big Ten's offer. Reports are that NBC wants a Big Ten game as part of the conference's new media rights package. - Los Angeles Times

06/30/22 - Sam Hartman, rSr/2024, Notre Dame, 6-1, 211 (DS#13 QB) + More +

"Hartman for The Heisman." It's got a nice ring to it, as quarterback Sam Hartman enters what will likely be his final season at Wake Forest. As the summer heats up, the preseason predictions are starting to come out. One recent publication had Hartman's odds for winning the coveted award; he was listed by DraftKings Sportsbook in the top 15 for favorites to win the award. Also, SouthernPickskin.com is touting Hartman as a candidate. The top five picks to win the Heisman, according to DraftKings Sportsbook, are quarterback C.J. Stroud (Ohio State), quarterback Bryce Young (Alabama), quarterback Caleb Williams (Southern Cal), running back Bijan Robinson (Texas) and quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei (Clemson).

The Demon Deacons and the Tigers play on Sept. 24 in a key ACC game at Truist Field. Last season, Hartman accounted for 50 touchdowns (39 passing and 11 rushing) as the Deacons went 11-3 and won the ACC's Atlantic Division. He passed for just over 4,000 yards and had one of the best seasons by a quarterback in school history. His 50 total touchdowns were one less than Lamar Jackson of Louisville had in 2016 when Jackson won the Heisman. Jackson's 51 total touchdowns are the best in a season in ACC history. - Winston Salem Journal
