At 6’5” 290+ pounds, Four-Star recruit Quenton Nelson from
Red Bank, New Jersey becomes the ninth commitment from the class of 2014 and looks
to shore up Notre Dame’s offensive line for the future. He has one year left of high school football
to continue his growth at offensive tackle (left tackle). Nelson had offers from the likes of Miami,
Ohio State, Michigan State, Florida State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Stanford and
National Champion Alabama. With his 3.3
GPA, Nelson will join fellow 2014 offensive line recruits Jimmy Bryne and Sam
Mustipher in getting ready to block for running back recruit Elijah Hood. At a recent Rivals Camp Series stop in New
Jersey presented by Under Armour, Quenton Nelson turned heads with his quick
feet holding off defenders from coming in from the outside and with his
improved strength stopping straight on rushes.
Although listed and has played tackle in high school, he could move into
a guard position. He also will probably
redshirt his freshman year.
PLAYER NOTES
Quenton is also a U.S. Army All-American.
