NOTRE DAME FIT
Greathouse is a true do-it-all player, which makes him a great complement to the class and gives OC Tommy Rees a very versatile weapon. Greathouse has the strength and ball skills to be a high volume boundary receiver, and he has the playmaking skills with the ball to play to the field. What makes Greathouse unique is that despite his size, he's very good with the ball in his hands, and his strength + route running skills + football IQ also could allow him to dominate in the slot. That will allow the Irish coaches to find a home for him very early, because they don't have to fit him into a spot, they can fit him wherever there is the greatest need and then figure out ways to get him the football.
BREAKING DOWN GREATHOUSE
Ryan Roberts, Director of Recruiting: "You would be hard pressed to find a more accomplished wide receiver in the 2023 recruiting class. Greathouse brings a smooth athletic profile with an attention to detail as a route runner, big frame, strong hands and physicality. It is his competitiveness and confidence that separate him. The Texas star should provide an immediate boost early in his career.
John Garcia Jr: "Big, long and lean frame reminiscent of a Claypool or Floyd type at Notre Dame. Comfortable in all settings and situations with vast experience as four-year varsity starter. Displays great urgency and top-end speed relative to immense frame, presenting matchup issue for smaller or slower defender alike. Return skills highlight comfort and physicality as a runner after the catch, with enough elusiveness to make plays in chunks. Length and basketball background translates to wide catch radius and easy ball skills at the catch point."
Westlake Head Coach Tony Salazar: "Jaden really checks all the boxes you would want. He practices just as hard as he plays in the game. I think that’s why you see the results he has had. There’s no off switch for how hard he works. The work ethic he brings is just unmatched. We had to force him to take a little break. We have all had breaks but he just never wants to stop. Jaden is just an amazing kid. The name on the front of the Jersey has always been more important to him than the one on the back.” - Tony Salazar
