In perhaps the least shocking news of October, Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton has been named an Associated Press Mid-Season All-American.

Hamilton has recorded 32 tackles (18 solo) and three interceptions through Notre Dame’s first six games of 2021, although if we’re being honest it really should be four picks as one against Purdue in September was incorrectly ruled an incomplete pass.
Hamilton projects to be a top-10 pick, if not a top-five pick in next spring’s NFL draft that we all assume he’ll enter despite only being a junior. Hamilton will be looking to become Notre Dame’s 103rd all-time consensus All-American this season and the first for the Irish since Julian Love accomplished the feat in 2018.
