CW – What kind of pushed me over the edge to select Notre Dame was just because I felt they had everything for me in terms of school and football and life after football.

Which coach did you make the biggest connection with?

CW – I probably have the biggest connection with Coach Stuckey naturally because he’s the receivers coach and me and him have a good relationship starting to build up.

Which player or current recruit did you connect best with?

CW – I connected best with CJ Carr and Jack Larsen. Us three kind of formed a quick bond after all meeting up at the Irish invasion a few weeks backs and it’s just been up from there.

Did you enjoy the process?

CW – I did enjoy the whole recruiting process… Yes, mine was quick, you could say, but I still learned a lot and formed many great relationships and got to do many things that not many people can do but maybe would want to do.

What’s the best part of your game? Where can you improve?

CW – I’d say the best part of my game is my ability to go and get the ball. I feel like something I could improve on is always cleaner and smoother route running.

What would you like to let Irish Nation know?

CW – I would just like to let them know that they’re definitely getting someone who’s going to make a huge impact to the program with all the right intentions and Go Irish!
