On April 22, 2023, Prep Football Report analyst Tom Lemming, a legendary figure in football recruiting, had a photo shoot on Notre Dame’s campus on the day of the Blue-Gold Game. Among the attendees were three players who signed with Notre Dame in the 1990 recruiting class: running back Jerome Bettis Sr., and defensive linemen Jim Flanigan and Bryant Young. They made the trip with their three sons as well.
