Notre Dame is the one school that has a national recruiting base, from Florida to Texas to California.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Notre Dame was my dream school growing up. But in recruiting, they had some other plans, what position they wanted me to play.
I truly believe the things Notre Dame stands for.
You don't go to Notre Dame to learn something; you go to Notre Dame to be somebody.
I'm an old man, and all my life I've said that Notre Dame should remain independent because it's a national school.
If you look at the history of Notre Dame, if you hire a coach who's been successful at another college program, they're going to be ultra successful at Notre Dame because the talent will always be there.
People would ask what college are you going to, and I'd say, 'San Diego State.' And they'd say, 'Why?'
I grew up in Florida and went to school there, and ended up going to University of Central Florida.
God has a plan for everybody's life, so there was obviously a reason why He wanted me to go to Notre Dame. Everything happens for a reason.
Playing football in Fargo has a total big-time feel. Everyone says it's FCS and it's a smaller school, but in Fargo, North Dakota, and in the state of North Dakota, NDSU football is the real deal.
You have to be equal at both - great at football and great at dedicating yourself to the academics at Notre Dame. It's hard. There are no rooty-toot classes for athletes in South Bend.
