'11 PA TE Ben Koyack (Notre Dame Signee)

I think the cards are in Vannett's hand now. Think it's only a matter of time before he pulls the trigger for the good guys if the coaches continue to express that he's the #1 guy on their list and that they only want 2. I really thought we were going to land Koyak tho. Disappointing. Until we start utilizing the TE more, its going to continue to happen year after year.

:oh::io:

Pretty much defaults Vannett to us. Glad for that but sucks to miss on an elite talent like Koyack. However, I like Kelly and think ND's program will go in the right direction, so not a bad choice.

Good luck, Ben. I've got to say, it's easier to see a kid go play for Brian Kelly than the schematic advantage.Seriously? :lol:

That's just 1 TE, we still need another, and I wasn't putting all my eggs in the Vannett basket. But if the rest of u are this confident about him, I will be as well. I've just seen us be burned by too many recruits the past couple of years when we thought this kid was a heavy OSU lean. Just a day or 2 ago almost everyone on this site swore we were landing Koyack and he's heading to South Bend. But I hope we land Vannett, it'd be a nice complement of TEs

You can't offer another TE unless either
1) the coaches feel Vannet is possibly going elsewhere
2) the staff doesn't see much drop off between Vannet and the next guy.

Both appear to not be the case.

So do I but that isn't good for us, he can now recruit OH/region with nice facilities and a brand name product. But at the end of the day it probably won't change much.. ND will get its piece of the pie and so will OSU.

Gotcha, thanks for that. Can't wait to land Vannett then, I'm fine with Nick and Jeff coming in and providing depth at a position of need

We never did all that well in Cincy anyways, but that is where I think we'll see the more immediate impact (started with James). I think the Dayton/Cleveland areas will see no fallout. I do agree in general though, we may lose 1 or 2 more on average to ND with Kelly there.

Koyack Hits Right Tune On The Football Field

Posted: September 1, 2010

OIL CITY, Pa. -- Ben Koyack hails from a family of musicians, complete with a music teacher as a mother.

As proficient with the trombone, piano and euphonium as he is with throwing, catching and running with a football, he was faced with a quandary as an incoming freshman three years ago.

Becoming the starting quarterback for Oil City High School's varsity football team would mean he couldn't be part of the marching band.

Three successful football seasons later, Koyack isn't regretting the fact he was deprived of the chance to march at halftime.

"It's one of those things that worked itself out," said Koyack, on The Associated Press East Region 25 list of top recruits. "It worked out nicely."

Koyack is one of the top tight ends in the country and will take his game to Notre Dame next year. But that's only part of his athletic resume.

The rare freshman who started at both quarterback and shortstop, Koyack was a state champion in the javelin last year. Koyack has played quarterback, tight end, defensive end, linebacker and wide receiver for the Oilers.

"He's 6-5, 235, runs a 4.5 and can throw the ball 70 yards," Oil City coach Matt LaVerde said. "Ben's just a really good athlete in whatever he does."
