BYU atmosphere impresses top RB recruit Folston

Notre Dame's ground-and-pound 17-14 victory over BYU last Saturday served as the backdrop to an eventful recruiting weekend for the Irish recruiting staff. The Irish hosted several current and future commits and uncommitted recruits, with the highlight being 2013 running back prospect TareanFolston. Folston, a speedy back from Cocoa, Fla., is the No. 79 player in the country according to ESPN. The Irish already have a commitment at running back in the 2013 class from power back Jamel James, but Notre Dame recruiting expert Mike Frank said Folston and the Irish are a good fit.
