What is it with Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame in trying to prevent the Tennessee football team from bringing legacy playmakers to Knoxville? As most of you already know, Notre Dame is working hard to land linebacker Cooper Witten, the son of UT legend Jason Witten.
He's not the only 2027 playmaker that Freeman and his staff have their eyes on. Notre Dame is also working hard to make an early impression with Kenneth Simon, whose father Kevin was a linebacker for the Vols in the early 2000s.
In an interview with reporter Kyle Kelly, Simon didn't hold back in letting everyone know what the offer from Notre Dame meant to him.
