Notre Dame football signs another legacy in its 2024 class

The Powlus legacy at Notre Dame continues

The Powlus family has a long history with Notre Dame football and they added yet another to the team.

[autotag]Tommy Powlus[/autotag], a 6-foot, 1-inch and 210-pound linebacker signed with the Irish on Wednesday as a preferred walk-on. He has long been a commit, since November of last year, but chose not to sign during the early period.

In an interview with Penn Harris Madison School’s newspaper, he explained why he chose to join Notre Dame instead of another school. “I know this is the best decision for me in terms of academics and football. I also chose this because I know Notre Dame will set me up for success in the near and distant future.

Son of former Notre Dame quarterback commits to Notre Dame

Think we’ll see him in any games?

There always is something gratifying about seeing a former Notre Dame player’s kid go out for the Irish. That’s exactly what 2024 outside linebacker recruit [autotag]Tommy Powlus[/autotag], son of former Irish quarterback [autotag]Ron Powlus[/autotag], is doing. Although he will begin his career without a scholarship, he seems excited about the opportunity to suit up for the same program his father did:

Powlus won’t have to travel far to go to Notre Dame as he currently attends Penn in Mishawaka. If, for whatever reason, college football doesn’t work out for him, he also is an accomplished lacrosse player, so he at least has another sport he can fall back on. All we know for certain is athleticism definitely runs in the family.

There isn’t a lot about Powlus online other than his MaxPreps and Hudl profiles as well as Penn’s athletic site. Even in those cases, not much information is offered. It looks like we all will finding out about him at the same time assuming he even gets the opportunity.
