Jeff Quinn continued his strong start to Notre Dame’s 2022 offensive line haul on Thursday when offensive tackle Ty Chan gave his verbal commitment to the Fighting Irish. The 6’6″/275-pounder out of Massachusetts is the 2nd 4-star offensive lineman to join Notre Dame’s class of 2022, and the 4th commit overall in a class that currently ranks 7th in the country.

Cohort
Ty chose Notre Dame over other offers from Boston College, Penn State, Michigan, Duke, Minnesota, Nebraska, Syracuse, and Virginia. The two main competition in this recruitment were Boston College and Penn State. Ty was actually in Happy Valley this past weekend to visit Penn State, but that visit only reaffirmed his opinion that Notre Dame is the right place for him.
Highlights
While Ty is undoubtedly going to play on the offensive line at the next level, his clips at defensive end were what stuck out to me the most from his sophomore film. They show the type of athlete he is. Excellent burst of the snap, quickness, good bend and pad level. He plays with power, but he’s also light on his feet — exactly what you want in a potential tackle prospect. He could use some work on his footwork and technique, but keep in mind this is his sophomore year film. What high school sophomore doesn’t need to work on those things?
Impact
Jeff Quinn continues to kick some serious tail on the recruiting trail and O-Line U just keeps stockpiling elite talent. Ty Chan is a tackle prospect who has one heck of a high ceiling. I’ll be really interested in seeing how he develops throughout the rest of his high school career. At this point, he may need some time to develop at the more technical aspects of the position before competing for a starting spot at Notre Dame, but he should be physically ready pretty early. It’s so tough to predict how early these kids along the offensive line are going to see the field in South Bend, but depth in the position group is sure to remain excellent as long as Quinn can keep landing dudes like Chan and Joey Tanona.
Welcome to the Irish family, Ty!
Can’t wait to see what Balis does with this kid.
Every time I see a highlight film where the kid is a foot taller and hundred lbs bigger than everyone else it reminds me of Derrick Henry’s HS tape. It’s so entertaining how physically dominant kids can be in HS.
So… UNC running game is pretty good, it turns out.
As Eric and others were hoping, that UNC win is a good one for us.
I only caught a bit of the game on TV, but at the end it sounded like the commentators were absolutely trashing the Convicts – excuse, the Canes for their no-show lack of spirit?
UNC game was good for us, but Florida game was *very* good for us. All we need to do is keep this Clemson game within four touchdowns and we’re in the playoff.
How does Florida loss help us? It only helps maybe if they beat Bama but isn’t A&M the team that is going to slip in if CLemson or us would drop out?
Takes out a team that could potentially leapfrog us. If UNC had struggled and Clemson at full strength blows us out, we’re left with less impressive wins.
In the event that Florida had beaten LSU and then beat Alabama, us losing by more than a touchdown against Clemson and Ohio State doing what I suspect they’ll do to Northwestern would have probably left us on the outside looking in. Now it doesn’t.
778 yds. total offense? Egads!
how did UNC lose to FSU and Virigina (3 pts each)?
If they didn’t who would have won the tiebreaker between them and clemson?
Good question. It would have to be an obscure tiebreaker because they don’t have the head to head option.
I think so. If both Clemson and UNC were 9-1 and only each lost to Notre Dame and didn’t play each other, by my reading of the rules it would have come to the 5th tie breaker because all the early ones have to do with wins vs common opponents, and that would be tied or bot applicable in this case.
“5. The tied team with the higher ranking by the Team Rating Score metric provided by SportSource Analytics following the conclusion of regular season games“
Not sure who that would be, but I assume Clemson, just since their one loss didn’t drop them very far. Tiebreaker #6 is the ACC commissioner pulls a name out of a hat, lol can’t wait to gtfo out of a conference.
