Name: D.J. Morgan Position: Safety/Athlete H/W: 6"3, 205lbs. D.J. Morgan is yet another in a seemingly explicit lineup of tall-ass DBs and Safeties in this 2016 recruiting class. Morgan is from Bellflower, California where he went to St. John Bosco High School. Morgan considered offers from USC, Arizona State, Utah, Cal, and Northwestern before ultimately choosing Notre Dame. While Morgan projects as a Safety, and when you consider the fact that Recruiting Coordinator Mike Elston teamed ...
Signature Moves: Donte Vaughn
Name: Donte Vaughn Position: Defensive Back H/W: 6"3, 195lbs. The most striking thing that jumps out about Vaughn (aside from his insane nose for the football and overall athleticism) is his size. At 6"3, Vaughn stands as the tallest DB recruit to sign with Notre Dame in the Brian Kelly era. With the speed and size of running backs and wideouts in modern college football, this level of athlete cannot be undervalued. Vaughn projects as a safety, although Notre Dame recruiting coordinator ...
Early Enrollee: Spencer Perry
Name: Spencer Perry Position: Safety H/W: 6"2, 205lbs. Spencer Perry is an early enrollee from the west coast of Florida. He went to high school in Bradenton (just south of St. Petersburg) and chose Notre Dame over offers from Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Michigan, Michigan State. Perry decided it was best to flip to Notre Dame after being previously committed to Florida and has since gone radio silent, opting out of any further visits or contact with other schools. This move obviously ...
Early Enrollee: Devin Studstill
Name: Devin Studstill Position: Defensive Back H/W: 6"1, 175lbs. Studstill is an early enrollee hailing from Palm Beach Gardens High School (Palm Beach Gardens, FL), where his former teammate and now teammate-once-again Tevon Coney played high school ball. A lot of hype surrounded his recruitment, as he seems to embody the toughness you want in a cover corner, and the spirit of Brian Kelly's now-famous "RKG" recruit. Studstill projects as a Corner, and was recruited by Notre Dame Running ...
The Essential Brian VanGorder
Brian VanGorder knows the finer things are worth taking the time to enjoy. As the offseason crawl carries right along with signing day on Wednesday looming large over the minds of coaches, recruiting analysts, and creeper fans alike, we here at Her Loyal Sons prefer to focus on these finer things. As a taste of the finery HLS will offer throughout the offseason, we thought it best to start with a light and refreshing tribute to Brian VanGorder, perhaps the most underrated entertainer on ...
2015 Was Mean And It Should Feel Bad
Thanks 2015, now my poor girlfriend probably needs therapy. Wait, you know what? Let me back up and start from something closer to the beginning of this mess. In the late summer of 2014 I was starting what would turn out to be a complete mess of a job, and absolutely hated it pretty much from the start. On my second day I met a girl who we will call Alejandra. Alejandra and I were an instant match. We shared more than a lot in common, but perhaps one of the most significant aspects of her ...

I am happy. I'm really happy to have been along for the ...
Boston College vs. Notre Dame Football Highlights 2015: ND 19 – BC 16
Welcome back loyal sons and daughters to HLS Videos with ya boi SupermanTDJesus! I cannot lie to you guys, this game SUCKED. It was a comedy of errors, and no one was laughing. With Stanford looming, and the playoff picture steadily clearing up as the season comes to a close, Notre Dame football didn't find a way to stand out against an "inferior" opponent. We shall see on Tuesday what this performs does for their playoff ranking, but I can't imagine it will be pretty. Frankly, I am SO ...
Wake Forest vs. Notre Dame Football Highlights 2015: ND 28 – Wake 7
Welcome back loyal sons and daughters to HLS Videos with ya boi SupermanTDJesus! Folks, it wasn't the most thrilling of games, and it was somewhat bittersweet being Senior Day and all, but I hope you're all with my when I say, "WE WON BY 3 TOUCHDOWNS THANK YOU JESUS!" It was another week of College Football shakeups that saw four Top 10 teams lose to "inferior" competition, and i'm just happy that Notre Dame walked away unscathed (save for the Onwualu injury, which thankfully appears to not ...
Notre Dame Football vs. Pitt Highlights 2015: ND 42 – Pitt 30
Welcome back loyal sons and daughters to HLS Videos with ya boi SupermanTDJesus! As you may have read in our prediction post, I didn't believe Pitt had anything really threatening to present to the Notre Dame Football team at Heinz field, and boy does it feel good to be right about a crappy Pitt actually being crappy for once! The game wasn't close, Kizer was perfect, and it was beautiful. This Notre Dame Football team is now hitting the home (and kinda home?) stretch of the schedule with a ...
