2018 Ohio ATH Brian Asamoah Making First Trip To Notre Dame This Weekend

Columbus (Ohio) St. Francis DeSales 2018 athlete Brian Asamoah will make his first trip this weekend to Notre Dame.

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Asamoah is still in the early evaluation stage of his recruitment with the Irish. Asamoah said the staff told him they liked his mid-season film and invited him to a game.

“My expectations are just to come enjoy a good game and get an opportunity to learn a little more about Notre Dame,” Asamoah said. “I'm hoping I get a chance to tour the campus. I'm a student-athlete and the word that comes first is word student, so I would like the opportunity to tour the campus and get to see some classrooms.”

Though he currently doesn’t hold an offer from Notre Dame, Asamoah feels it is beneficial to begin building a relationship with the coaching staff if he were to receive an offer down the road. He is hoping to meet Brian Kelly and linebackers coach Mike Elston while in South Bend.

“I'm looking forward to meeting the coaching staff,” Asamoah said. “This is important to me because if I'm blessed with the opportunity to come to this university I would be spending the next four years with this staff, so it would be nice to start building a relationship.”

Speaking of Kelly, the head coach is part of what draws Asamoah to Notre Dame.

“What stands out the most me is the success Coach Kelly had been able to bring to the university,” Asamoah said. “I like the direction Coach Kelly is taking Notre Dame. I'm really impressed with their style of play.”

Asamoah has already been busy in terms of his recruitment. He’s already taken visits to Michigan State, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Indiana and Miami (Ohio). He is hoping to also make it out to Michigan, West Virginia and UCLA.

Pittsburgh, Iowa State and Toledo have extended scholarships to the junior.
