@davidadamcone @JakeCrain_ @jdpickell @Blain_Crain @On3 Notre Dame is returning the most production in the entire nation at over 70%, and Miami returns less than 50% of their production.

This is low informed commentary.

Jackson Vaughn Interview On Marcus Fakatou and Notre Dame

Earlier I posted Marcus Fakatou’s reaction to Jackson Vaughn saying during his commitment (to ND) that he would love to have Marcus with him at Notre Dame.

So, I reached out to Jackson to find out more about his friendship with Marcus and why it would be so important to have Marcus there with him.

“Marcus is my guy. We’ve built a real friendship throughout this process and I’ve got a ton of respect for him as both a player and a person. He’s the type of competitor that makes everyone around him better, but he’s also humble, hard working and family oriented, which is something I value a lot.”

He went on to talk about why it would be so important to have Marcus playing with him at Notre Dame.

“Playing together at Notre Dame would mean a lot because we already know the type of energy and mindset we’d bring together every day. We’ve talked about how special it would be to build something together and compete at the highest level while representing a place like Notre Dame. At the end of the day, you want to go to war with people you trust and genuinely care about, and Marcus is definitely one of those people for me.”

There is no doubt about it that Marcus Fakatou is a special player and he would be a MASSIVE get for the Irish if they can land him. He is set to visit (official) Notre Dame on June 15th ☘️

🚨Tyler Alexander Interview🚨

C/O 2027 4⭐️ DL Tyler Alexander announced his Final 4 teams earlier today with Notre Dame making the cut.

I caught up with Tyler following his announcement and he told me why Notre Dame continues to be a top team in his recruitment.

“Notre Dame is a very special place! I’m not sure people realize how much of a GOAT Coach Partridge really is. He’s from South Florida, so you already know he’s like that! That is one smooth operator, not to mention a phenomenal coach. His world revolves around coaching football and his family! He’s a great man, and that is what I want to surround myself with.”

He went to say how FloridaDame is a real thing among the coaching staff and just welcomed they made him feel while on campus.

“The moment I stepped into the facility, every coach from Florida was yelling “Florida Dame” every time they saw me! It honestly feels like a home away from home. The people and energy there are different, and what they’re building there is going to shock the world!”

Alexander is a 6-4 310lbs DL out of Palm Beach Central (FL) He holds 37 D1 offers.
