Is Kenny Minchey really going to do this?
Minchey has turned enough heads at Notre Dame and beyond to make the idea of him as QB1 a real possibility.
Justin Geisinger is an offensive lineman’s offensive lineman. A Pittsburgh product who bench-pressed 600 pounds while at Vanderbilt, the two-time captain started 42 college games at left tackle, allowing just two sacks. Drafted in the sixth round, he stuck around the NFL for parts of five seasons, appearing in a grand total of six games across two teams.
He could have felt wrung out from a lifetime in the trenches. He could have put that Vanderbilt degree to the kind of use most of his classmates did.
Instead, Geisinger decided to throw himself into high school coaching, spending the past 16 years back in Nashville.
And he has this to say about all of the quarterbacks he has tutored over the years:
“Nobody cut it even close to the extent of Kenny’s football trajectory.”
Kenny is Kenny Minchey, a name you could be forgiven for having once forgotten, but one that Notre Dame fans have become quite acquainted with these past few weeks.
Could Minchey really be the Notre Dame’s starting quarterback come Aug. 31 at Miami?
A guy who was once a Pitt commit before a flip to the Irish less than a month before signing day?
