Notre Dame grad xfer RB Justin Brent

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Running back Justin Brent is transferring from Notre Dame, as first reported by Irish247.

The former four-star recruit out of Indianapolis (Ind.) Speedway high school signed with the Fighting Irish as a wide receiver in the class of 2014. However, he was moved to running back after his first year in the system. Brent was rated the No. 67 overall player in the country according to 247Sports.

The 6-2, 220-pounder, who received permission to contact multiple schools on Friday, will graduate this summer and take his talents elsewhere. Although he is open to many schools across the country, Brent says Indiana, UCLA, Miami, Arizona State, Purdue and Ohio State are all schools he'll look closely at.

Brent enrolled early in South Bend. Upon graduation, he'll be able to play immediately and has two years of eligibility.

Take him over any of the recruits were after. 2 years and a real shot at another NFL back even though I think Patrick has a shot. We should look at more grad kids.

Someone on the staff needs to start heading north and get in this kids ear.

Why? I am not so sure I would take Brent over Ellison or Barrett. Brent may have an opportunity to get on the field faster because he's physically and mentally mature, but there has to be a reason why someone as talented as he is never saw the field. Then take into consideration he recently moved to RB from WR. Do his talents really lend to being an RB? Or was he not able to crack it at WR and tried his hand elsewhere?

I would rather have four years of talents like Ellison and Barrett, who are coming in as RBs, than two years of Brent. I don't think this is a Jordan Howard-type transfer. And Camion Patrick is unique in his versatility.

Of course, I trust DMC and the rest of our offensive staff to make the determination. Maybe we take two RBs, one freshman and one grad transfer.

Maybe it was the selfie with a porn star.

Then why isn't he interested in Louisville?

Hopefully it was American Psycho style while listening to Hewie Lewis and the News.

Hahaha I forgot all about that, didn't realize he was the kid. "Selfie" is one way to characterize it.

Take him in a heartbeat.  Thats a pretty tough list for us to compete against though.

That is my prediction. If we have a shot at him we take a freshmen back and him. If we only got one though I would take him only because Ellison has seemed to lose interest after his injury. I still want him to be a Hoosier no doubt, but the talent is there for this kid. If we can take Coleman and Howard and turn them into RBs in the NFL, this kid should be able to as well. He would only start one year if any though is what makes me hesitant to take him over Ellison. Patrick is the starter this year.
