Kalon Gervin wasn’t the only talented player from Detroit powerhouse Cass Tech High School in South Bend for Notre Dame’s game against Georgia last Saturday night.

Jalen Graham was also in attendance. The 2019 athlete/safety was making his second stop at Notre Dame after a brief one several months back.

“It was good,” the 6-foot-2, 195-pounder said. “We got there pretty early, so we got to walk around the campus. Then, I got to see the locker rooms and walk on the field and everything. It was nice.”

Graham, who has early offers from schools like Pitt, Missouri, Kentucky and Temple among others, was impressed.

“It’s good,” he said. “I like it a lot. I like how it’s right near the football stadium and how everything is pretty close together.

“That was the first time I got to see the locker rooms. Last time I came, I didn’t get to see them. I think they were still building them. They turned out really nice.”

The Michigan native was also impressed with the atmosphere inside Notre Dame Stadium for the matchup between the Irish and the Bulldogs.

“It was great,” he said. “I liked the atmosphere. Everybody was loud. They had all of the students there. It was really energetic.”

Graham could play a number of positions and doesn’t have a preference, but the Irish are looking at him as a safety. He and Gervin had a chance to speak with Notre Dame defensive backs coach Todd Lyght prior to the game.

“He was just talking to me and Gerv about getting back up to the school and making sure we’re communicating with him,” Graham explained.

“He’s a cool dude. He’s down to earth. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything. He asked about my game and how I played and all of that.”

Graham has plans to hit the road again this weekend.

“I plan to visit Pittsburgh because we have a bye week,” he said.

And would like to return to South Bend in the future.

“I would like to come back again later if that’s possible because I like the school and it’s not too far from Michigan.”
