Son of legendary former Notre Dame football player commits to the Irish as a PWO
The Notre Dame football program has added another legacy commitment to its 2024 recruiting class. On Thursday, Mishawaka (Ind.) Penn senior linebacker Tommy Powlus announced his Fighting Irish verbal commitment as a preferred walk-on.
Powlus, the son of former Notre Dame quarterback Ron Powlus, is the third recruit of a former Fighting Irish football player to pledge to the Irish in the 2024 recruiting cycle. Notre Dame accepted another PWO commitment from wide receiver Xavier Southall on Sept. 17. Four-star EDGE Bryce Young shut down his recruitment in favor of the Irish on April 29.
Young is the son of former Notre Dame defensive lineman Bryant Young, who played for the team in the early 1990s. The elder Young had a 14-year career after the 49ers drafted him No. 7 overall in 1994. He is a Pro Football Hall of Famer. His son, Bryce Young, is the No. 108 overall player, No. 8 EDGE nationally and No. 2 prospect in North Carolina, according to the On3 Industry Ranking.
Southall’s father is former Notre Dame free safety Cornelius “Corny” Southall. The elder Southall started on the Irish 1988 national championship team. After his football playing days, he worked for the United States Secret Service on the Presidential Protection Division for 27 years.
