Quentin Nelson: All Time Bad*ss

[NDIRISH53]

Watch him next week vs SC. He will dominate. He has been unbelievable this year, exceeding his hype. And yes, he even played good against UGA (only lineman to do so). He has been so overlooked by us fans. He is a throwback bully mauler, the kind of lineman that sets the tone for the whole team. He will go down as the best offensive guard to ever play at ND.

Are all our backs this great, or has our run blocking just been great? USC will be another 300+ yard rushing attack

Big Q will bully and maul the soft SC D! Balis has made us tougher than them.

BE THE BULLY! GO IRISH

i don't know if he will go down as the best as there have been some really good ones. that said my all time favorite lineman was aaron taylor. a man amongst boys at the college level.

In the modern era, Zack Martin, Jeff Faine, Aaron Taylor and Quenton Nelson will go down as the most complete offensive lineman I've seen at Notre Dame. Ronnie Stanley was an elite pass blocker, but a notch below as a run blocker. Petigout, Gandy, Sullivan, Nick Martin, some other good ones.

I think we soundly beat usc and mostly because of the line play.

Josh Adams getting serious Heismann talk FINALLY. I am dead serious when I say Quenton should be a New York finalist. He is far and away the most dominant lineman I've seen this year. Most dominant college lineman I've seen since Russell Okung who was unreal at Okie State

Mike Rosenthal should be on your list too.

I find myself watching him on most of ND's offensive plays to watch his greatness instead of just following the ball. He is an absolute beast. If you want to watch a dude dominate on the oline just watch Nelson instead of the ball he's unreal.

Saw a draft prediction -- had him going 3rd to my Giants.

Same tracker had McQ going 9th!

Love this kid. I've followed him since he went to RBC with my daughter. Great family. He's wanted to go to ND since he was kid. Bench pressed the combine weight 26 times before his Senior year of HIGH SCHOOL.
Great representative of the greatest university in the country.

He must have been unbelievable in high school. His tape is unreal. Probably a beast on D too. North or South Jersey?

One of the 5* recruits who has delivered -- going back to 2008 -- along with Floyd!, Rudolph, Manti!, Tuitt, Jaylon Smith! and (hopefully) Daelin Hayes.

Ones who didn't work out: Crist, Keil, Redfield, Vanderdoes*, Bryant (RIP), Ishaq Williams

7 panned out (8 if you include Vanderdoes' career at UCLA and now with the Raiders.) 5 didn't.
