CB Lorenzo Styles Jr. (Official Thread)

Not selling him short. He wanted to be here and has put in the work, no doubt. He's certainly an example for the younger guys to follow and I imagine the staff will hold him up as an exemplar. That's the rub, though. He wasn't a 5-star, top-ranked corner. That's who's behind him. If they actually follow his example, he will eventually get passed, but he's got limited eligibility left and maybe he plays that out with significant minutes, if not as a starter.

Styles is the one tearing it up on special teams rn, not the guys behind him. IIRC he’s been special teams player of the game two weeks in a row. I don’t remember a coverage guy ever doing that before.

But then I don’t remember seeing a guy make the tackle on kick offs so consistently

hartline started out and made a name for himself on special teams way back in the day, iirc?

This is a guy that started as a WR at ND. Now, being a CB, it proves that he has exceptional athleticism. As a ST player and in his limited playing time at CB
he has flashed. Let's remember that he is first to go in when Hancock is out. Count me in as far as not selling him short.

if i recall OSU recruited him as a DB but at the time he was dead set on playing WR and ND let him do that

Exactly!

I said he’s an example to the younger kids, that includes special teams play, and that IF they lived up to that example, they’d eventually pass him. The fact that they haven’t yet played up to his example on special teams doesn’t negate that statement.

Just for the memories.
