2019 Marist (Ga.) safety Kyle Hamilton‍ needed two visits to Notre Dame to decide it was the place for him as he committed to the Irish on Tuesday evening. The four-star prospect makes it the fifth commitment for Notre Dame in the last five days. 

The 6-foot-2, 183-pounder recently visited in March, and the trip opened his eyes to opportunities in South Bend after seeing it firsthand. 

“I knew Notre Dame was a respected Business school, but I didn’t know it was the No. 1 undergrad Business school in the country,” Hamilton said. “That’s a big plus knowing that they have the best Business school in the country.” 

Hamilton visited Duke, Georgia, Michigan and Ohio State, but it always came back to the Notre Dame network and academic plan. 

“I know it’s a great academic school and has a great network,” stated Hamilton. “Coach (Brian) Kelly told me the alumni network was unlike every school in the country. He said Notre Dame could provide opportunities most schools can’t and showed me how unique the school is.” 

Terry Joseph is in his first season as safeties coach for Notre Dame and has hit the right marks with Hamilton over the past few months. 

“He was telling me how freshmen can be competitive at Notre Dame,” explained Hamilton. “He felt I could make a big difference and explained how I fit into the scheme. He also explained how he could teach me everything.”

Marist head coach Alan Chadwick believes Notre Dame is getting a playmaker but also a player that’s going to get even bigger. 

“His anticipation, his ball skills, his range as a safety are outstanding,” stated Chadwick. “He sees things and anticipates things very well. He’s a good tackler. He’s got the frame to be a very good player at the next level.” 

Hamilton joins cornerback KJ Wallace‍, a Georgia native, and safety Litchfield Ajavon‍ in the 2019 Notre Dame secondary class.
