Notre Dame legend speaks on son’s recruitment vs. his own

Few defensive lineman have come through Notre Dame or the San Francisco 49ers and made the impact Bryant Young made.

At Notre Dame he helped lead a downright nasty defense and make the middle of the line of scrimmage nearly impossible for opponents to generate anything through.

In the NFL it was more of the same as Young stepped in his rookie year and helped the 49ers to a Super Bowl championship.  Years later he’d be enshrined in Canton, Ohio in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

So what was recruiting like for Young compared to his son (also named Bryce) who recently signed as part of Notre Dame’s 2024 recruiting class?

The older Young was in attendance at the All-American Bowl to see the younger play on the big stage.  He shared a few minutes with NBC during the game to discuss exactly that.

Notre Dame also landed a commitment from 2025 defensive lineman Christopher Burgess of Chicago during the game.
