You should be accustomed to hearing Notre Dame defensive back Kyle Hamilton’s name pop up on lists of top players in the country, with it happening again today as 247Sports named their Top 20 players who haven’t turned 20. A list like this is merely a projection to future success, but for Hamilton it is another validation that the soon to be sophomore is in line for a huge season.
Although the writers did not individually rank each player, it is still an impressive feat for Hamilton. The emerging sophomore should step into a starting spot at safety this coming season. “People around Notre Dame believe Hamilton was the most impactful true freshman defender of the Brian Kelly era,” is high praise for Georgia native, 247Sports wrote. Check out some of his highlights from his freshman year here.
So far Hamilton has been everything the Irish could have hoped for through less than one year on campus. If he fulfills the hype that is building for his second season in South Bend, we might just see one more year after that.
