Notre Dame went back into Indianapolis and pulled out another defensive lineman in Brandon Tiassum. Big, long and athletic, Tiassum profiles similarly to classmate Elijah Taylor, showing the type of versatility to play at either defensive tackle spot with hopes that they’ll get some pass rush from him as well.
Not a national target, Tiassum was an early offer and a summer commitment, and a building block in the 2015 recruiting class. With the star rankings erased from the board, Tiassum now begins a career in South Bend that’ll depend on the Irish coaching staff evaluating their defensive line recruits properly.
