Next on the list for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish is rising Junior Defensive lineman, #77 Brandon Tiassum. Tissum stands 6’4 300 pounds, and looks to crack the field for the first time in his playing career. He is local, coming from Indianapolis, where he was a 3 star recruit playing at Park Tudor High school.
3 Things about Brandon Tiassum
- He was not only recruited as a D lineman, but was rated as the 44th best offensive guard in the country. He also forced 12 fumbles on defense...which is a ridiculous amount.
- He has a dynamite twitter handle/picture. #YoungSlide&Glide

- He is enrolled in the Mendoza School of Business. Real dummy. I listened to a couple different interviews of him and seems like a very sharp kid.

It is cool to hear his passion for Notre Dame-you can tell with the speed of his commitment that he is a true Irish fan, not only a player.

2017 Outlook
Barring injury, Brandon most likely will not see the field too often this season. He may get some garbage time playing behind Jerry Tillery & Micah Dew-Treadway. He seems like quite the character and a guy that you want on the team. Can’t wait to look out for this big man hyping up the crowd and his teammates this year.
