I spoke with Notre Dame 2025 linebacker prospect Maddox Arnold Monday night. He won linebacker MVP at Michigan's camp last Wednesday and is scheduled to participate in Notre Dame's Evaluation Camp II Tuesday.
Defensive coordinator Al Golden visited Arnold at Cincinnati (Ohio) Elder this spring and the 6-foot-2, 220-pound inside linebacker hopes to impress Notre Dame's coaching staff in camp.
"When I'm talking to him, he makes me feel like they want me," Arnold told Inside ND Sports. "I'm going to come out this year and compete so I can get on their radar.
"The thing I like most about Coach Golden is he's honest. I like honest coaches because they're not out there saying things just to get your head going and all that. They're honest with you, and tell you what they truly believe and what they truly want and see out of you."
While working out for Golden and graduate assistant Max Bullough, Arnold wants to show off his quickness in space and capability to win one-on-ones.
Arnold said an offer would mean a lot to him.
"Notre Dame is probably my dream school," Arnold said. "I've loved that school since I was a little kid. Building this relationship with these coaches would be a dream come true. I 100% want to come back for a game in the fall and many more that hopefully come after that."
Arnold has not been assigned a star rating or ranking. He reports seven total offers from Ball State, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Marshall, Massachusetts, Miami (Ohio) and Purdue. He's also receiving interest from Alabama, Cincinnati, Northwestern, Ohio State and Pittsburgh.
