It's Tuesday night, which means it's player and coach interview night, and it also means another Irish Illustrated instant analysis.

The coach tonight, special teams coordinator, Marty Biagi, a handful of players.

To my right, Drew Mintock, to my left, Tim Priester.

I am John Bryce, and this, of course, is brought to you by the RVMH Hall of Fame in Northern Indiana Events Center and Elkhart, Indiana.

Tim, we'll start with you, visited with a number of people tonight, Malachi Fields, among them.

Let's start there.

He's getting ready for his one-year Notre Dame Senior Day.

Yeah, he admitted that his great one-handed catch was the best of his career.

I asked him, because when I was watching the replay of it,

it looked like initially he thought he could go get it with two hands,

and he quickly realized that that wasn't going to work

and stuck that big paw up there.

I mean, truly one of the great catches that we've seen a Norden player make.

Yeah, absolutely. And again,

we visited with Marty Biagi, Malachi Fields, Jr. Tui alamaka, Justin Fisher and Eli Raritan. I don't

think I'm leaving anybody out. Drew, you and I spent the most time with Jalen Sneed, me more than you,

but you ask him his first question. Can you talk about that? Yeah, I wanted to know he's a guy who there's always been rumors that maybe he wouldn't stick it out. Things didn't work out perfectly for Jaylen Sneed for a five-star coming in. He'd think he had more expectations for what he was going to do when he first got here. So I think every spring he was a guy who's always kind of on our list of like, will he stick around? what's's he going to do and obviously he's somebody to persevere to he's going to be here for a senior day and he just was open about the struggles and how much stronger they made him and he didn't really know what things are going to look like and he kind of pushed through and how much more rewarding that is for him maybe compared to even some other guys to know he kind of stuck

it out and it wasn't always a given that he would be here for four years and speaking of him being

here for four years a couple of news items there first of all jalen sneed told us he will be graduating

in december congrats to him he also obviously has one more year of eligibility left he is a fourth year

junior he said he has not

made up his mind on that. He said he is, quote, strictly focused on Syracuse. Finally, I ask him
