His appreciation for the university has only continued to grow since the visit.

Notre Dame currently has the fifth-ranked recruiting class of 2024, and Viliamu-Asa would be a huge addition to the team. He’s in touch with four coaches from the school, including Chad Bowden, Notre Dame’s Director of Recruiting, who Viliamu-Asa loves.
“He keeps it real,” Viliamu-Asa stated. “It’s good to know that love is there and somebody is in my corner. If I do end up going there, I know there will be somebody that can lighten the mood and things like that. He’s just cool.”
Coach Freeman Putting Together Impressive 2024 Class
Viliamu-Asa also speaks highly of Coach Marcus Freeman, who would welcome him on board at Notre Dame. Freeman, who has just completed his first full year as the team’s head coach, is no stranger to recruiting top-tier talent.
“Coach Freeman is a great guy,” Viliamu-Asa said. “He’s really doing his thing. He’s a great coach, great personality.”
If Viliamu-Asa does commit to Notre Dame in the summer, he’ll be a big recruit for the Fighting Irish. He’s already highly regarded by scouts, and his addition would bolster an already impressive recruiting class, which is fifth in the nation at present.
His versatility and ability to make plays on defense would be a major asset to the team, and he would undoubtedly help the Fighting Irish compete for a national championship.
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa would be an excellent addition to Notre Dame’s football program. His talent and potential, combined with his enthusiasm for the university and its coaches, make him a top target for the Fighting Irish. It will be exciting to see where Viliamu-Asa ultimately decides to take his talents.
