Notre Dame safety Kennedy Urlacher (23) at Notre Dame spring football practice Thursday, March 7, 2024, at the Irish Athletics Center in South Bend.
The Notre Dame football freshman freight train otherwise known as Kennedy Urlacher announced his presence to the college football world this past weekend.
The son of Hall of Fame linebacker Brian, was ranked as just a 3-star coming out of high school by the 247Sports Composite, but it looks like they, along with the other recruiting services were wrong on Urlacher’s talent.
In just a few quarters of football, the 5-foot, 11-inch and 190-pound safety racked up 3 tackles and a pass broken up. That was enough for Pro Football Focus to grade Urlacher out as the top true freshman safety in the country during Week 3’s play.

It’s an impressive start to Urlacher’s career, one that should be very fun to watch over the next three to four years.
