Nothing now that Zeke has
“I told him coach, I’m going to give you the good news,†the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Motta said. He chose the Irish over Florida, Boston College and Auburn, where his father played linebacker. “He was excited about that, and he put me on the phone with coach (Charlie) Weis. I was like hey coach I’m committing. He was excited about that and said he was looking forward to getting me up there. He told my Dad he wasn’t going to try and be my Dad but he’d look after me. I told him I was excited.”
I’m excited too Zeke. I am. Everyone’s excited!
Motta is a 4 star on both Scout and Rivals, and in the ESPN150. Zeke is a big, hard-hitting safety and could be groomed into an OLB, or kept lean and mean at the Safety position.
Love some of these quotes from ESPN:
“At 6′ 3” and two hundred and ten ponds, he could be the biggest safety in high school football…He is a very physical football safety. Attacks the line of scrimmage like a torpedo…Hits like a ton of bricks; uses his weight well. Great timing on the blitz. Times getting off on the ball perfectly and finds the open blitz lane. Will absolutely not be denied and will run over, around or through blockers to get to the quarterback. It’s a no-brainer, he will be a Division I college player, probably as an outside linebacker before it’s all over.”
I have a feeling Carlo Calabrese and Zeke are gonna get along just fine – and have a good time simply DESTROYING opposing teams’ running backs.
Welcome Zeke my boy!
Don't take me, yourself, or life so seriously. This is supposed to be fun.
Biscuit co-founded HerLoyalSons in partnership with his ND roommate (Dillon Hall baby!), MQ, in 2006 and has been ranting about ND Football and everything Notre Dame since. He strongly believes in the mission of ND and its football program. Biscuit expects logic and data in arguments and will absolutely crush you if you come to a debate missing one or the other. He despises everything Michigan, and his favorite pastime is mocking Purdue.

I’m sure he is a great player and fine upstanding human being, well maybe not after being blokced by Moundrous next year (zing!!), but that picture just strikes me as funny. It looks like it is cut off from one of those “trading card” type of pictures we used to get when playing pee-wee FB.
DTK, the difference is that we won’t actually NEED to start frosh next year. Maybe 1 or 2, but probably not at OLB. So this guy will have a year or two to get ready to destroy ‘bears all over the place.
