Up next year on the Irish Breakdown podcast, we brought to you by our friends over at Vandal.

We also get to talk about tight-in Titus Hawk, who also committed to Notre Dame this morning before the show started.

And this is another big commitment.

And I mean that literally and figuratively.

I mean, he's a 6'7, 210-pound tight-end from Choctaw, Oklahoma, which, by the way, Titus Hawk is an awesome name for a tight end. I just got to put that out there. Oh, my gosh, yes. Because that name is awesome. He is a first team, all-name team guy. You know, we talk about this sometimes, Trev. We're like, sometimes, like, you know, if your name is going to tell us if you're going to be a guy. You know, as I said, who's the last time my first rounder was

taken with the name Bob Smith or William Smith? You know what I mean? Like, there's a lot of those people in the country, but, you know, it doesn't really infect it. But it's just kind of like one of those things like, you know.

Yeah, I mean, if your name, he's got the name.

If your name is Titus Hawk, you can't go manage a hedge fund.

You have to be in. like you know yeah man if your name he's got the name if your name is titus hawk you can't go

manage a hedge fund you have no no you go you can but it's after your football after after

days when you get after you've played 10 years in the NFL and you've got your noted name to

career and all that yes exactly right exactly right once your foot once your athletic career is over, then you can go do that,

obviously. So this is an interesting one, Treb. This is a complete opposite of what we saw last

recruitment with, with Jackson Coleman, where, you know, you offered him on the 15th, or you saw

him on the 15th, offered him on 16th. He visited a week and a half later and a week and a half after that. He's in the class. Think about it. The first time Notre Dame visited Jackson Coleman in person was April 15th. We are now 19 days after that. We're 18 days after he got offered a scholarship from Notre Dame and he's in the class.

Titus Hawk a little bit different. They've been on Titus Hawk for a long time.

And, you know, so this recruitment was a little bit different, Trev. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how it goes. It just matters that at the end

of the day, you get her done. And Notre Dame, their name got it done with Titus Hawk.

Yeah, they absolutely did, man. And I'm glad you brought that up. He's a player that's been on the board for quite some time, very excited to see what he does when he comes to South Bend. But it means a lot. First tight end in the class, but you guys know what we're going to do. We're going to talk backstory, class, impact, all that fun stuff, man.

So kick the back, the backstory off, Drap, he was offered almost a year ago today.

He was, I just looked up at his, at his Twitter page, he announced it. He announced his offer on April or May 13th of 2025.

And he tagged Harris Biven in that one.
