UNDER THE DOME assumed he'll go from right tackle and be the next great Aggie left tackle following Luke Joeckel and Jake Matthews. Well, it didn't work out that way. He struggled and it turns out he's more of a right tackle and maybe even a guard at the next level. "You can't take it for granted, but certainly Mc- Glinchey showed pro talent last year at right tackle and if he can perform that well and continue to improve on the left side, it's going to make him that much more valuable." McGlinchey redshirted in 2013, so he is eligible to remain in South Bend for two more seasons. The decisions paid off for Zack Martin and Stanley, who each passed up the NFL Draft following their senior and junior years, respectively, and improved their stock the following year. QUENTON NELSON, OG Nelson clearly has an NFL future, but the question is whether it will be after the 2016 or 2017 sea- son. The Holmdel, N.J., native entered the starting lineup in 2015 and, along with Stanley, formed a dominant duo on the left side of the line. His junior season in 2016 could set him up for early entry into the draft. While guards are not the coveted commodities that tackles are, Nelson could range anywhere from a top-25 to top-50 pick, depending on this fall. "Quenton Nelson, he's a big dude too," Wright said. "Man, that guy's going to be a top-100 pick, I think, as an offensive guard, which is saying some- thing. You don't have a ton of offensive guards going in the top three rounds, but he sure looks like one to me." TORII HUNTER JR., WR With Will Fuller and his 29 touchdowns from the past two seasons off to the NFL, Hunter Jr. has an excellent opportunity to become Notre Dame's go- to option in the passing game this fall.
