Prior to flying up to Notre Dame on Thursday for this weekend’s official visit, Kedren Young‍ spoke with Irish Sports Daily.

“Me and the fam, we can't wait,” the 2024 Texas running back said.

“The coaches sent me videos and they sent me pictures and stuff, but now I get to see it in person, that's what I'm excited about.”

The Lufkin High School running back described Irish running backs coach Deland McCullough as a “great dude.”

“His resume, he coached in The League and now he's coaching in college,” Young continued. “He won a championship. He has all the credentials. We don't even just talk about football all the time. We talk about life and all the other stuff. He's a great man. I like talking with Coach McCullough.”

The 5-foot-11, 225-pounder is being recruited for a specific role for the Irish and McCullough, who has shown the ability to utilize multiple backs.

“I like the system because he uses all of his running backs,” Young said. “Everybody's got their own role. I think that's important.”

Young has received several scholarship offers from schools like Texas, Texas A&M, TCU, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Michigan, Nebraska, Boston College and Vanderbilt among several others, but Notre Dame is one school that immediately caught his attention.

“First, it's a big name,” he said. “And second, academics. If you get a degree from Notre Dame, that's big. The academic part is also a big thing.

Young, who wants to major in something around Criminal Psychology, took an official visit to UTSA back in April.

He’s also planning officials to Texas A&M, TCU, Baylor and Texas Tech later this month. He’s eyeing a commitment sometime this summer, possibly as late as August, although he isn’t ruling out doing something sooner.

“I'm going to just go by the visits and just take it from there. Whatever I see and feel from the visits, that'll probably be a big part of the decision.”
