veteran Notre Dame guard with a grinder’s resume
James Bonelli is a Notre Dame interior lineman whose profile has long emphasized size, physicality, and developmental upside; recruiting listings pegged him around 6-4 to 6-6 and 285 pounds, and Notre Dame materials described him as a big, physical blocker with good pass-protection footwork and the potential to become a key contributor. In his college career, he saw limited game action early, then worked his way into a senior-season role, which points to persistence and coachability more than flash. If your team wants a tough, no-drama guard prospect with blue-collar traits, he fits the mold.
