The way forward for Notre Dame’s protection bought brighter on Friday morning when excessive three-star linebacker Dominik Hulak introduced his pledge to the Irish. The 6-foot-3 and 235 pound athlete is listed as a linebacker by Rivals, however will play the Vyper defensive finish place in Al Golden’s defensive scheme.
Hulak turns into the eighth total commit and third defensive finish in a 2025 Notre Dame class that already ranked No. 3 within the nation previous to his announcement.
WHAT NOTRE DAME IS GETTING…
The Elmhurst (Sick.) IC Catholic Prep standout is an athlete in each sense of the phrase and certain underrated as a 5.7 three-star prospect. He checks all the packing containers in terms of what you search for in a excessive upside edge defender. The long run Vyper is extremely athletic for a participant at his dimension and it’s good to look no additional than his potential to stretch the sector as a go catcher on offense for proof of this.
Hulak’s mixture of dimension and athleticism give him unimaginable versatility on protection as he’s equally succesful coming off the sting to hurry the passer as he’s enjoying in house and making tackles within the open area. He is a great defender who sees the sector effectively, diagnoses the play early after which shortly triggers in pursuit to be a disrupter. Physicality and a motor than runs sizzling are two staples of Hulak’s recreation and he brings an old-fashioned, blue collar mentality – regardless of being constructed for the fashionable age of faculty soccer.
Hulak is simply scratching to floor of the participant he’ll finally turn out to be. His bodily presents plus love for the sport make him a excessive ceiling participant. I count on him to make an early affect for the Irish and do not be stunned should you see Hulak racking up accolades and enjoying on Sundays in only a few quick years.
