Riley had this to say about this year’s group of incoming student-athletes:

“I am excited to have this group of young men join our University and our team. They are a talented group who are committed to excellence and most importantly have the mentality that it takes to succeed at Notre Dame.

The key for them now is to work hard to turn their potential into reality and to put all of their efforts into becoming their best. We are looking forward to welcoming them officially into our team this fall and can’t wait to get started working with them on the field.”
