BY ANDREW IVINS Orlando (Fla.) Bishop Moore offen- sive guard Parker Boudreaux claims that Notre Dame offensive line coach Harry Hiestand has never recruited a prospect like him. He's probably right. That's because Boudreaux isn't your typical lineman. The Louisiana native has more Twit- ter followers — 25,000 — than Notre Dame head men's basketball coach Mike Brey's 20,000. He has become friends with country musicians and rap artists and goes by the nickname 'P-Money.' The big man held 70 schol- arship offers. And when he committed to Notre Dame July 2, he pulled a 16,000-pound yellow school bus to show the world that he wanted to be in South Bend. "Coach Hiestand is a little old school, I think he likes it at times, but then he doesn't," Boudreaux said with a grin. "But he loved the video of the bus. He said he has never recruited somebody like me because I act like a skill player and not a lineman." While Boudreaux might have the persona of a wide receiver or defen- sive back, he doesn't play like one, Parker Boudreaux Not Your Typical Lineman Parker Boudreaux pulled a yellow school bus to announce that he was committing to Notre Dame.
