Irish Interested In 2014 Cali CB

Friday, 24 May 2013 13:08 Christian McCollum

JohnPlattenburg1 John Plattenburg has seen his recruitment and his profile take off this spring.

Since March, the 2014 California cornerback has picked up offers at a steady pace, gathering scholarships from Nevada, Boise State, San Diego, Colorado State, Utah, Washington, Cal, Oregon State, Arizona State, Washington State, Colorado, Arizona, Wisconsin and Baylor.

“It’s a big surprise,” said the 5-foot-11, 187-pounder from Centennial High School in Corona, Calif.

“The first time I ever really played defense was this year and the first time I ever really played corner was in the playoffs. I thought this offseason was really going to be about me just bettering my skills for next year, but I guess the athleticism I have and me being able to learn fast has turned into something. It’s pretty exciting to watch it unravel like this.”

DavidMoormanDB David Moorman hasn’t finalized anything yet, but the 2015 Michigan offensive lineman is hoping he'll be able to make it to a Notre Dame camp this summer.

“I’m still going through my camp schedule,” the 6-foot-5, 276-pounder from Northville High School said. “I’m looking at few Notre Dame camps.”

He hasn’t had much direct contact with the Irish yet, but is hoping he gets the chance to impress.

“They sent my coach some flyers that he showed me,” Moorman said. “I’ve always been a Notre Dame fan, so I was planning to come up for the camp.

“My dad loves the movie Rudy. I remember watching that when I was really little and I just kind of fell in love with the campus from the scenes in the movie. The whole atmosphere kind of got me excited. I really like Coach (Brian) Kelly. Last year they had a really good season. I remember watching some of those specials on NBC and I really like the program.”

Arkansas DT Walking On

MarquisDickerson1 Marquis Dickerson did earn a scholarship as a 2013 defensive tackle out of Lee High School in Marianna, Ark., but the 6-foot-3, 275-pounder has decided to challenge himself more on and off the field.

Instead of accepting a scholarship to Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Dickerson has decided to accept a position as a walk-on with Notre Dame.

“I went up there to the spring game and while I was up there, I had a meeting with (Dave) Peloquin and David Grimes,” Dickerson said. “I wanted to introduce myself to them in person. I told them I was interested in walking on.

“It was a great atmosphere. I’d never seen so many people in as tight-knit of a community as South Bend. It was ridiculous. I’m from the South with southern hospitality, but Notre Dame took it to another level.”

NatrellCurtisDB Mountain Pointe (Phoenix, Ariz,) defensive tackle Natrell Curtis has made a habit of creating chaos on the gridiron and becoming a quarterback’s worst nightmare, but he's quick to admit he wasn't always this way and even had the opportunity to feel what it was like to be on the other side of the ball.

ChristianKirk1 Notre Dame has already invested a good deal of time evaluating Christian Kirk and on Monday, the Irish extended an offer to the 2015 Arizona athlete.

“I talked to Coach (Bob) Elliott on the phone,” Saguaro High School head coach Jason Mohns said. “He recruits this part of the country and has been here several times.”

The Irish sent offensive coordinator Chuck Martin out to Scottsdale to see Kirk last week and on Monday, Notre Dame got back to Mohns saying it was ready to offer the 5-fooot-11, 190-pounder.
