The 6-foot-1, 220-pound four-star recruit committed to Notre Dame and has gotten better every year for the Fighting Irish, racking up 123 career tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and two interceptions 鈥� one of which was a 66-yard pick-six against the Wisconsin Badgers at Soldier Field in 2021.
