📬 Dear Irish Nation, Pads were on today! See you soon, Notre Dame Football #GoIrish☘️

Just work!! #nonstop

I took this video of Elijah Golden as a freshman in Virginia. I gave him his first rating as a 4* when he was a freshman and he lived up to it. The next year transferred to IMG but quickly left and found a home at Cardinal Mooney in Sarasota Florida where he prospered.

Here is @USATODAY's All-State team from the Class 7A-1A state championship games @NickWilsonUSAT @CoachQ954 @CFreemanJAX @VJPortell @Alex_Peterman @PatBernadeau @pbphighschools jacksonville.com/story/sports/h…

All praise to the man above!!! #Gocougs #Goirish 🍀
