I.B.Nation. Welcome back to another episode of the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought to you by our friends over at Fanduel.

Happy Wednesday. Happy almost Turkey Day. I know if you guys are anything like me. Looking forward to getting a chat on some pretty good food here in the next 24 hours.

But before we get there, folks, we have a loaded show coming your way. As you guys know, some news just broke. Amari Irvin, 27 linebacker from IMG Academy, just committed to the University of Notre Dame. So we are going to cover that. And then we're going to dive into kind of like our normal Thursday show, but obviously it gets pushed back with Thanksgiving being tomorrow. So we're going to be talking about our game predictions for Notre Dame Stanford. We're going to give our score predictions, how we see it playing out, you know, game, game wreckers, anything that we might be concerned with. And then we're going to dive into Notre Dame's rooting guide. It's rivalry weekend, and there's going to be a lot of different games that are going to impact Notre Dame positively or negatively. And then we have about three games that we're going to preview for this upcoming weekend.

We're going to talk about Friday's games.

And then on Friday, Vince and Brian are going to go live and talk about some of the games that will be happening on Saturday.

So it is a holiday week, but still a lot of Irish breakdown content coming your way.

But Brian, let's get this all started and kicked off by the commitment,

27 linebacker Amari Evans from IMG Academy.

Yeah, this is one that's kind of been floating around for a while.

There was a chance that we actually thought we actually,

Treve, you and I discussed this potential commitment.

Trying to remember, I'm pulling his profile up.

He visited for a game, and for the life of me, I'm forgetting what game it was.

It was the October 11th game.

Would that be, was that USC? I thought it was the U.S. NC State game. So if it was. It was the October 11th game. Would that be, was that USC? I thought it was the

NC State game. So visits for the NC State game. When we talked about at the time,

you know, we thought there's a chance that he was going to commit then. And so we've,

we've already done like prep work on a, an Amari Urban breakdown back then, and he ended up not committing, letting the process play out a little bit,

and has decided to commit to Notre Dame now.

And this gives them a second linebacker in the class.

So a very interesting situation.

He's the younger brother of Cedric Irvin, Jr.,
