Kelly hired his former QB Rees to his Staff Tuesday. Known more for his poise and calm under pressure than physical abilities he played in 30 games passed for 7351 yards, 61 TD’s vs 37 picks.

Rees always had to bail out Golson who crumbled under pressure and his stoic look when addressed by Kelly was fun to watch.

After leaving ND Rees worked as a Grad Asst at Northwestern in 2015 then joined the San Diego Chargers as an Offensive Assistant last season.

Rees knows Kelly’s system (the only ND QB who could pick it up) and should be a calming influence on Wimbush as long as he can keep Kelly away from him.

Other news – Colin McGovern (OG) will take his 5th year to Virginia, so he should get playing time there.

Still recruiting – need at least 5 more.
