Throwback to Marcus Freeman as a Recruit

What were you doing 20 years ago this month?

Some of you reading this weren’t even born yet while many of us were certainly living much different lives.

Personally, I had just graduated high school and was looking forward to leaving for college in the fall.

That’s what Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman was doing, too.  Freeman was a big-time recruit from Dayton, Ohio and according to what he said upon getting the Notre Dame head coaching job, was down to Notre Dame and Ohio State for where he’d attend school.

The star high school linebacker ultimately chose Ohio State but unpredictable roads led him to Notre Dame in 2021 where he was defensive coordinator for one year before taking over as head coach following Brian Kelly’s departure.

Longtime national recruiting analyst Tom Lemming shared a picture Wednesday of Freeman back in his high school days.  It’s beyond impressive how much Freeman still looks the same.

This is the picture I took of Notre Dame’s head coach Marcus Freeman 20 years ago at Dayton Wayne HS, OH. He was a 5* LB who I selected for the US Army All American Game the next year. Super athletic, productive and mature. played for Ohio State and the Chicago Bears. pic.twitter.com/f5zf3QnPPT
