Notre Dame’s Luke Massa A Team Player


Back in January 2011 we did a post on Luke Massa, read it Here.  There is something about the guy you really have to like.

Recruited as a quarterback out of St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati he opted out of a crowded position and settled his 6’ 4” frame into the wide receiver position.  This in itself is interesting as Jackson Bennett and Austin Collingsworth were moved from WR to the defensive backfield.
After fooling around on the scout team his freshman year, donning a red shirt, Luke has seen action as a WR in seven games this year. 

He does not show up in the statistics.  He does not show up on the two-deep depth chart.
His value so far has been working with the scout team, wearing a red baseball cap helping to signal in plays and spelling other WR’s on the field.  Coach Brian Kelly knows he has a “quarterback in waiting” similar to John Goodman if the situation turns desperate. 

We are going to keep our eyes on him, we like what we see.  Luke’s a Notre Dame man.  He's contributing any way he can.

Luke is enrolled in the Mendoza College of Business.

    Hey Subway, it's been a while since I last visited. I noticed your "Injury" list on the left side of the blog is spelled "InjurTy." Thought you might want to fix that. Other than that, keep up the good work. I do enjoy reading it!

    And while I'm at it, did you get rid of the forum?

    Yeah, Subway let the forum go for lack of interest.

    I live in Seminole country and am anxious to learn what the Champs bowl might be all about. And if so, what FSU has been up to this season.

    Hey Tulsa Irish,
    Thanks for the good eyes. Yeah, the forum was a bust and I closed it down after the Stanford game. What little interest it peaked would surely drop off after the season.

    I too am interested in FSU, living here in Pinellas County, I know what the Irish are all about. I think they will have their hands full, more so if turnovers follow them to Florida and if they can’t find a QB.
