January 18, 20213 yr comment_724295 So awesome! Welcome to ND, Tyson! No. 3 prospect in Missouri and No. 65 player in the nation!
January 18, 20213 yr comment_724299 this is a huge get for ND, very pumped up about this. BK and freeman hit a homerun with this one. now is he a SDE or WDE? would also love to see ND land DJ Wesolak to go along with Ford. Edited January 18, 20213 yr by dangeruss

January 18, 20213 yr Author comment_724303 Most sites are saying strong side DE When people ask me what is SDE vs WDE I say think does he remind you more of Tuitt or Kareem Or on the WDE would be Julian Okwara. to me he's a bigger guy so I'd put him on the SDE side.

SDE with the ability to rush the passer (not all can).
January 19, 20213 yr comment_724313 Great to have Ford a part of this class. I thought for sure he was going to OU. Freeman is already impressing. Welcome to Notre Dame Tyson Ford!
January 19, 20213 yr comment_724314 Elmo wanted him at A&M. I’ll happily take him away from them! Good to know we out-recruited Elmo. If we can also steal recruits from Big Bird and Kermit, then things will really be looking up!
January 22, 20213 yr comment_724394 Watched his junior highlights and this kid is a baller. He looks physically like first round material.
January 27, 20213 yr comment_724482 I do not have a subscription to the Athletic but can someone who does confirm that Sampson quoted Tyson Ford that Ford spoke with Lincoln Riley 6-10 times but had zero calls with Brian Kelly? https://theathletic.com/2346332/2021/01/26/tyson-ford-notre-dame-recruiting/ If true, then more evidence that BK gets outworked on the recruiting trail. In one sense, while having Freeman recruiting for ND is like a breath of fresh air, it is sad that it seems that he is having such an immediate impact. It suggests that ND's recruiting was not maxed out before he arrived. One assistant coach should not move the needle that much.

It suggests that ND's recruiting was not maxed out before he arrived. One assistant coach should not move the needle that much. Ford told his mom he wanted to choose Notre Dame. Even without a visit. Even without a conversation or a relationship with head coach Brian Kelly. Yeah. It certainly reads that way.
January 27, 20213 yr comment_724489 I do not have a subscription to the Athletic but can someone who does confirm that Sampson quoted Tyson Ford that Ford spoke with Lincoln Riley 6-10 times but had zero calls with Brian Kelly? wasn't the reason for wr Jalen McMillan choosing Washington over ND because BK never contacted him? I thought BK had learned his lesson after that but I guess not, thank goodness ND has Marcuse freeman otherwise ford would probably be a sooner.
