Mr. Kyle Rudolph, Come on Down!

Kyle Rudolph, a top-ranked Tight End recruit from Cincinnatti, committed to join Charlie’s Army in the recruiting class of 2008 today.  While he has not yet held his formal press conference, it sounds like this is a done deal.

Rudolph has a big frame at 6′7″, 225.  Clearly he will need to bulk up a bit, but with the Strength and Conditioning staff that will happen quickly.  With John Carlson returning, and top-ranked TE recruits Konrad Reuland and Mike Ragone on board, ND is quickly becoming the place to be for receiving Tight Ends.

“You don’t want to go somewhere to be another lineman. You definitely want to get the ball.”

I like that attitude. 

Welcome to the family, Kyle!
