Nicholas Sligh

Just got off the phone with 2018 Clarke Central (Ga.) offensive lineman Nicholas Sligh, who picked up a preferred walk-on offer from Notre Dame on Wednesday. The 6-foot-3, 310-pounder holds offers from about 20 schools right now, but Stanford has also offered preferred walk-on spot. Air Force, Army, Brown, Colgate, Cornell, Dartmouth, Furman, Georgetown, Mercer, Navy, New Mexico, Robert Morris, South Alabama, Southern Illinois and Yale are a few of the programs who have offered Sligh. Sligh said Air Force, Stanford, Notre Dame and a few of Ivy's have his attention. One significant note is the fact Sligh grew up in a Notre Dame household and he's a big Notre Dame fan. So, much like Phil Jurkovec, he's grown up dreaming of playing for the Irish. However, academics are at the center of this decision and he has some great options on the table, so it's not a lock right now. Sligh plans to get to campus after this weekend at some point and ideally wants to have a decision in by National Signing Day, but he is more than fine with waiting until after as he is on a schedule with regular students in terms of a calendar decision.
