Georgia Safety Jake Pope Goes In-Depth On Notre Dame, Decision Timeline

North Carolina: “I love their coaching staff. They definitely want me to come and be a big part of their program, which is a huge thing for me. I’ve taken a visit there with my dad to walk around and see it. I loved it. I loved the campus, and I’m excited to see everything in-depth on my official and meet the coaches in person.”

Notre Dame: “They’ve also been recruiting me for a very long time, and I’ve built a great relationship with Coach O’Leary, Coach Lezynski and Coach Freeman. I’ve heard it’s a great campus, and as everyone knows, their networking is amazing after you’re done with football. That has reeled me in. I can’t wait to go see it.”

Alabama: “Just their reputation and I’ve built a great relationship with Coach [Nick] Saban and Coach [Charles] Kelly. I’ve been on multiple Zooms with them. It’s going well. I also visited and walked around with my dad. I love that town. I can’t wait to get up there and get in the facilities and talk to the coaches.”
