Tayshawn Wilson‍ wasn’t going to wait around very long to schedule an unofficial visit to Notre Dame.

“A couple of the coaches followed me,” the 2023 Texas cornerback explained. “Me and my uncle, we looked at it and I was like, 'We should plan a trip to Notre Dame to see how it is and to experience it because I've never been outside of Louisiana and Texas.'”

That trip is set for this weekend, when the Houston native will get to South Bend to see the Irish’s game against Cincinnati.

“It'll be great to fly there and see what it has to offer because I've only been in the South,” the Mayde Creek High School standout said.

Wilson has early offers from Texas, Baylor, Houston, Louisiana Tech and Buffalo.

“It's a blessing,” the 5-foot-9, 170-pound speedster said. “I didn't expect this, but my hard work is paying off. It just feels great to know that all the hard work that I've put in has been paying off.”

Notre Dame is a school that has been on Wilson’s radar for a long time.

“When I was younger, I used to always think about it because Notre Dame is Independent,” he said. “That always stood out to me. It's just always been on my mind and I like the school and want to check it out.”

He’s looking forward to experiencing it for himself this weekend.

“I want to see the head coach,” said Wilson. “I want to see if everyone is bought in. I don't want no games. I like straight business. When I know it's straight business, I know that's somewhere I want to be.”

Wilson already made a trip to Texas this Fall.

“It was nice,” he said. “It was my first-ever college game experience, so it was pretty cool.”

He’s planning trips to Baylor, Colorado and Louisiana Tech as well.

He listed “relationships and education” when asked about the biggest factors to his ultimate decision and said he’s planning to major in Sports Management.
