Given that former Bengals receiver Cris Collinsworth works for NBC and NBC televises all Notre Dame home games and PFT is tied in with NBC and yours truly appeared at halftime of six Notre Dame games on NBC with Jimmy Roberts and Peter King and Florio Jr. has met Collinsworth and Collinsworth was very supportive and encouraging of Florio Jr.'s fledgling football career and Florio Jr. now plays Madden all the time and consequently Collinsworth’s voice is continuously playing in my basement, did you really expect me not to mention this one?
Collinsworth’s son, Austin, has decided to attend Notre Dame, according to Rivals.com, via SportingNews.com.
The arrival of Brian Kelly as head coach in South Bend played a major role in the decision.
Austin Collinsworth, a safety, also received offers from Cincinnati, Kentucky, Louisville, Oregon, Stanford, and Vanderbilt. Earlier this month, he rushed for 176 yards and three touchdowns in the Kentucky Class 5A championship game.
