He has reportedly visited ND in the past, but I am not sure when. Assuming a camp but could be a game.

I thought Tranquil the Younger was too small for S at 5'11'' 195.

His dad (CEO of UFC) has a net worth estimated North of $1.2 Billion ... Not bad.

i have met this kid and his family multiple times as my wifes little sister went to school with them all and were very strong into bishop gorman high school athletics and functions. stand up family with a passion for sports. nicco actually complimented me on my throw back letterman jacket one time when he was a kid. 5 years ago -ish? he was yound and i was still a little cocky after my tour in iraq and patted him on the head and said thanks buddy go irish. doesnt mean anything i know as they are all kids but its great to see him on here.

This fall, Fertitta is working towards trying to land a scholarship from Notre Dame. He got a chance to visit the Irish campus during the spring and sees the program and school as a very good fit.

“That’s definitely the top school,” Fertitta said, adding he’s being recruited by Notre Dame assistant Tony Alford. “Football isn’t life. You have to have life after football. If I get a degree from there, it’s education first, I’m set for life.”

There is also the major stage of college football in South Bend.

“A winning program obviously, a good education and Notre Dame is a place where I can express my religion.”

Fertitta’s father would be more than okay with Notre Dame as the next destination.

“Notre Dame, going to the campus is an experience in itself,” he said.

“Ultimately it’s going to be Nicco’s choice. He wants to play big-time football. I think one of the things that’s interesting about Nicco is it’s not a situation where he has to stay close to home. He can go wherever he wants because we can go watch him play wherever he is. There is no boundaries. I’m encouraging him, whether it’s the Pac 12 or even looking on the East Coast or wherever it might be.”

Besides Notre Dame, Fertitta has taken recent visits to Utah for its spring game and he also checked out Colorado. This fall he plans to get back to Notre Dame and Utah for games.

Kid is fiesty. He may be small, but he covers a lot of range quickly and isn't afraid to take on a block.

I think, considering the family's net worth, he'd be alright if he dropped out tomorrow.

Christian says Fertitta grew up a huge Notre Dame fan and would be surprised if he doesn't end up in South Bend. Called it his dream offer.

I'm sorry but by watching the tape and seeing that he played JV and knowing that he is a junior that makes me wonder what is going on. I'm sure he is a hard worker but we all know we will be taking a small class next year so why this kid?

He's listed on being on Varsity since his freshman season according to Maxpreps.

This offer so early does puzzle me a little bit. No way he plays safety in South Bend, he could be recruited as an athlete though...

Officials could make an educational video showing all aspects of the "Targeting" rule using Nicco's highlight film. He needs to learn how to tackle properly and not lead with his head every time.

As far as the offer goes...I don't see it. I had two safeties at my high school this year that both look 10x better. Both are going D1 (mid-major FBS and FCS), but I may send their highlights to ND...

But, I guess I'm just being a "hater". I hope he continues to prove me wrong. And, as always, I trust the staff.
