Podcast: Notre Dame Defensive Recruiting Continues Rolling & What Makes Marcus Freeman so Effective
After talking about the offensive side of the ball last week, we spent this week on the defense. A recent interview Notre Dame defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman gave on the Chris Zorich Podcast shed some light on what is making him so effective in recruiting at Notre Dame. We do a deep dive on what Freeman said and talk about some differences between his approach and Clark Lea’s. We also talk about Notre Dame’s newest commitment – 4-star linebacker Jaylen Sneed.
