Brian Kelly and subsequently, Todd Lyght, added some fine cornerbacks in their ’16 recruiting class; Daunte Vaughn, Troy Pride jr. and most of all, freshman All-American Julian Love.
Brian Kelly was very impressed with Love in Summer camp. He stated in more than one press conference that Love retained information, in Brian Van Gorder’s complex defense, very well.
As a result, Julian Love went on to several starts for the Irish in ’16. He proved himself to be a strong tackler and efficient in pass coverage.
Julian Love was a 3 star recruit as a 2 way player out of Nazareth Academy in Illinois.
