Freshmen Make Major Weight Gains
Here are the official heights, weights and jersey numbers for Notre Dame’s full freshman class, plus the program’s three incoming transfers. Who bulked up most?

One of Notre Dame's final additions last cycle might rate as summer's biggest surprise.
On the program's updated roster for fall camp, freshman defensive lineman Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa checked in at a massive 6-foot-2 ½, 293 pounds, which represents a drop of an inch-and-a-half from his listed size on National Signing Day by Notre Dame, but also marks a 43-pound jump in weight.
Recruited as a potential strong-side defensive end or defensive tackle, the Hawaiian, who Notre Dame landed in recruiting's final days, will clearly shift inside. Sources told Irish Illustrated during summer workouts that Tagovailoa-Amosa had impressed the staff this off-season.
The remainder of the freshman class, plus the program's three incoming transfers, are listed below with their official weight change from National Signing Day noted in parentheses. It's not clear how to read all the gains and losses, but there were some other wild swings since February.
Defensive tackle Darnell Ewell was up 41 pounds to 6-3, 321 pounds. That could put the four-star prospect from Virginia into the nose guard group out of the gate. Oddly, wide out Jafar Armstrong was listed as making a 44-pound jump, up to 6-0 ¾, 214 pounds. For a supposed speed receiver, it will be interesting to see how he wears that weight during August.
Eleven other members of the freshman class were listed with double-digit gains or losses. Safety Jordan Genmark-Heath, tight end Cole Kmet, offensive tackle Josh Lugg, defensive end Kofi Wardlow and wide receiver Michael Young were all listed as having made jumps of at least 20 pounds from National Signing Day. At 6-5 ½, 256 pounds, Kmet is listed as the same height and one pound lighter than fifth-year senior Durham Smythe.
The two freshmen who lost significant weight were offensive guard Dillan Gibbons, down 21 pounds to 6-foot-4, 294, and defensive end Jonathan MacCollister, down 11 pounds to 6-3 ¼, 233.
No. 35 David Adams 6-0 ¾,234 (+12)

ND actually isn't happy with Ewell's weight. At 321lbs he was on the Louis Nix dirty bulk diet after swim season from the looks of it and he'll never be the penetrating NG they are looking for at that size and weight. I expect a few of those pounds to be shed during training camp, but from the looks of it, Balis will probably have to peel about 20lbs off of him and then build him back up slowly.
Very impressed with the work both Hinish and Myron put in. Regardless, none of the freshman DL are going to be taking a ton of significant snaps as freshman unless there are major injuries at the position.
Thanks IrishInOntario. I was looking simply at weight gains and I presumed we were thin on the D Line. Thanks for giving me some in depth analysis. Go Irish!

Where'd you hear they weren't happy with him? Have you seen a pic of him? He's gotta be out of shape. He was built like a brick s**t house around signing day... hope he doesn't become a Louis nix Daniel cage type to be honest...
Scout posted pics on Twitter of 1st practice. Ewell didn't look overweight in the one picture of him they posted.
