NOTRE DAME FIT
Notre Dame uses all different types of safeties, but there is certainly a need for a player that can play downhill and be a dominant run defender. That is Adon Shuler. He's rangy, he's a physical run defender, he's sound and he's incredibly smart and instinctive. He has a captain's mentality but the playmaking ability to thrive on the back end. Shuler is athletic enough to handle man coverage agains tight ends and backs, he shows some range on the back end and he covers a lot of ground in the run game.
BREAKING DOWN SHULER
Ryan Roberts, IB: “Shuler is a missile on the backend, playing the safety position with some extremely bad intentions. The New Jersey native runs the alley like a bat out of hell, coming to balance as a tackler among the best in the class. Shuler plays with such tremendous instincts and has a habit to always be around the football. The all around profile is impressive.”
John Garcia Jr: "Average secondary frame, though filled out relative to modern standards. Balanced safety with strong ability to play the pass as classic center-fielder or work down the alley and reinforce run protection with authority. No-nonsense approach with production to his name, along with range and well above average ball skills. Can work the slot and help set the edge with length and physical nature near the line of scrimmage. College program should enhance balanced projection"
Irvington Head Coach Ashley Pierre: "The attitude he plays with is inffectious. Adon plays with such physicality and effort. He meant everything t - Ashley Pierre
