Notre Dame's Kyle Hamilton is one of the most decorated returning players this upcoming college football season. The rising junior safety will be looking to somehow top last years blow-out performance where he garnered first team All-ACC status and was named a FWAA first team All-American.
In the latest episode of Whistle's "Put You On", Hamilton takes the audience behind-the-scenes to check out the full Notre Dame/South Bend experience. Stops include the driving range, a burger at local favorite 'The Lauber' and a tour through the Studebaker museum.
But eventually all things come back to football. As one resident says, "Football is life here".
The 9th ranked Fighting Irish are poised to be a factor as Coach Brian Kelly looks to reload after losing a whopping 14 players to the NFL. Certainly having a stud safety in Hamilton securing the backend of the defense is a good starting point.
Check out the full episode below where he opens up about having a tough first year, his favorite golfer, and why Notre Dame was his choice of schools.
