What's in a name?

You would think at 6’4” 235 lbs. and a tremendous athlete, that would be all you need to catch the attention of Irish fans as a recruit but with a last name of Holtz it may game your attention a little more.  Currently J.P. Holtz plays running back and linebacker but with offers from Boston College, Cincinnati, Connecticut, Maryland, Michigan State, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse and West Virginia schools are looking at him as a possible tight end.  Most scouting services have him listed as a tight end, again a sign of Kelly’s recruiting style, get an athlete and go from there. Currently there is no offer from the Irish on the table but I would expect one shortly after his visit to South Bend.  His stats are fair with a 40 time of 4.7, a bench of around 300 lbs. and a squat of 450 lbs.
