Mark Ingram considers Notre Dame for his son's college football career

Former Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram expressed interest in his son, Mark Ingram III, potentially playing for Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman. During a recent appearance on the podcast The Triple Option, Ingram indicated that the Irish program ranks at the top of his list for his son’s future recruitment. Notre Dame has successfully recruited several sons of former NFL and college players, including the son of Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald. While Mark Ingram III is still several years away from being recruited, the connection highlights the growing trend of football legacy families considering the Irish program. Ingram retired from the NFL in 2022 after a twelve-year professional career. Should Marcus Freeman remain as the head coach at Notre Dame when Mark Ingram III is ready for college, the family plans to prioritize the school.
