Notre Dame football: Irish player called top-10 that no one is talking about
By Brad Weiss
The Notre Dame football team is loaded with talent on both sides of the ball, but one player is considered a top-10 talent no one is talking about.
The Notre Dame football program has plenty of question marks heading into the 2021 college football season, but running back is not one of them. In fact, the combination of Kyren Williams and Chris Tyree could be one of the best in the country, especially with a new quarterback, and new offensive line up front.

He is the total package, and the entire county should know that as fact.
