And the wind cries Mary. Andrew Hendrix became the sixth commitment in Notre Dame's Class of 2010, providing a much needed result from the quarterback position. The Irish beat out Ohio State for his services.
The quarterback is a product of Moeller High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. He's 6'3", 220 pounds with a strong arm and lots of potential. Scout has Hendrix as a 3-star prospect, Rivals has him as a 4-star prospect. Hendrix completed 61% of his passes for 1700 yards last season, posting an 11-7 TD-INT ratio.
The Irish needed a top quarterback in this class and Hendrix is their man. Some worried when Nick Montana decided to go to Washington, but it is very likely that we got the better of the two quarterbacks in this situation. Hendrix is a guy who already has a college body to go with a very strong arm. Some have compared his mobility to that of Brady Quinn; he's not fast, but he can get the yards when needed.Hendrix will have to improve his numbers in his senior year, but if he can then we will see his recruiting ranking sky rocket. He has all the tools, now he just needs to understand the game better.
And for those keeping track, we got another one from Cincinnati... a recruit the Buckeyes really wanted, who was right in their backyard, and we got him.

Hendrix could be the biggest sleeper in this class not only as a powerful pocket passer, but also as a deceptively good athlete. He possesses adequate-to-good height and a solid build. Arm strength is outstanding and he is one of the few players in this class with natural downfield power and terrific wrist snap and velocity on all throws. Plays in a multiple set scheme out of the shotgun and from under center. Foot speed is good for the position and overall athleticism is very good
