When Cincinnati Elder offensive
tackle Tommy Kraemer burst onto
the recruiting scene, many pegged
the four-star prospect as an Ohio
State lock. However, once the 6-5,
305-pounder took an unofficial visit
to Notre Dame on June 11 and spent
time with offensive line coach Harry
Hiestand, Kraemer knew where he
was going to end up.
"It was between Notre Dame and
Ohio State, but it wasn't that close,"
the class of 2016 prospect said. "I was
all Notre Dame since the first time I
visited there.
"On the way home when we got off
campus, I looked at my dad and told
him that I want to commit right away.
He calmed me down and asked me
to take my time and not rush into the
decision. Then we came back for the
Michigan game, and I asked if I can
do it now and he said to just hold off
until we come back for the Stanford
game. He said that if I still want to
be at Notre Dame, then go ahead and
commit that weekend.
