Robert Hainsey, a 4-star offensive lineman from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, announced Sunday he will play college football for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
The prospect shared the news on Twitter:
Hainsey is the 70th-ranked overall prospect, 17th-ranked player from Florida and fourth-ranked offensive guard in the 2017 class, per 247Sports' composite rankings.
Although he played left tackle more frequently during his high school career, Hainsey tends get upright as a pass-blocker and is better suited at guard in college.
Despite Hainsey's tendency to raise his pad level, he has tremendous functional strength and is a mauler in the running game.
