Braden Parks just made a lot of Notre Dame fans happy.

The defensive line from Chicago, I got to hit mute on my end. Vince and I were

watching the announcement on YouTube. I'm Sean Steyers. Vince DeDario is here. And the theme of today's show is

the reaction to the commitment of Chicago defensive lineman, Braden Parks, and literally

seconds before we were going on, Braden Parks made his announcement. He put on the Notre Dame

hat. He unzipped his sweatshirt and he had a Notre Dame sweatshirt on. It looked like Mom had a

Notre Dame sweatshirt on. And I tell you what, Vince, let's just go right now. He is still talking.

We'll hear some of the questions and answers. Tom Loy from 24-7 is kind of conducting the back

and forth with Braden Parks. And we'll hear what the big Chicago defensive lineman has to say about

his decision to commit to the University of Notre Dame.

I'm Coach Sebastian. I know Coach Sebastian since I started my recruiting process about four years ago.

Then Coach P came into it this January.

He just helped and made a huge step up from Notre Dame.

I know you told me there was a couple couple players in that building that made you feel comfortable

and maybe even a former player that you might be related to that impacted your decision.

So take me through that a little bit and who all kind of made you comfortable with this decision?

Yeah, the players, I talked to two players a lot, Tion Gray and RML Moogh, two players, I talk to two players a lot, Tian Gray and Armel Moogh.

Two players, especially Tion, Tion,

he was at Oregon, transferred to Notre Dame.

He just, he said everything great about Notre Dame.

Then, Armelle, he showed me the road,

show me what classes like, what is regular student life like?
