Summary
Albert Simien, a five-star offensive lineman from Louisiana, chose Notre Dame over powerhouse programs like LSU and Texas A&M — a major recruiting win for coach Marcus Freeman. Contrary to LSU media claims that they “let him walk,” Simien never had deep ties to Baton Rouge and visited other schools far more often. Money wasn’t the driver either — he passed up Texas A&M’s financial lure for Notre Dame. Playing time concerns? Notre Dame’s line is experienced and doesn’t guarantee starts, unlike some programs. Simien simply picked Notre Dame because it felt right — and it’s a huge statement for the Fighting Irish’s rising trajectory.
