Jermaine Santana-Diaz said his campus tour at Notre Dame set the standard for other schools.
“I went to A&M and the guy that gave me the tour on campus was like, ‘We carry a pretty big tradition,’” Santana-Diaz said. “But I look at how their tradition is, and I look at Notre Dame, and Notre Dame is the tradition.
“I look at A&M and they’re rebuilding stuff and making it look new. At Notre Dame, obviously they’re making stuff look better, but they’re making it look the same. Small stuff like that stands out to me.
