Irish Legacy James Flanigan Sets Notre Dame Visit

The name Jim Flanigan Jr. brings back some great memories for Notre Dame fans and supporters. After Flanigan was a standout defensive lineman for the Irish from 1990-1993, he was selected by the Chicago Bears in the third round of the 1994 NFL Draft, parlaying that success into a ten year career with the Bears, Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles.

Don’t look now but there is another Flanigan to keep a close eye on for Irish fans. His son, 2025 Green Bay (Wisc.) Notre Dame De La Baie Academy tight end James Flanigan, told Irish Breakdown that he will be visiting Notre Dame on March 25th.

The 6-6, 220-pound tight end is receiving interest from several big time schools. Right now, his lone offer is from in-state Wisconsin but that promises to expand quickly.

He is also a standout left winger for the school’s hockey team. They are fresh off of a 28-0 record this season, which included a state championship. Flanigan is a legitimate prospect on the ice as well.

On the football field, Flanigan brings some massive upside. He was a two-way star for the team, making a plethora of plays at both tight end and linebacker. The sophomore standout hauled in 22 receptions for 520 yards and nine touchdowns.

On defense, Flanigan recorded 66 total tackles, seven tackles for loss and three sacks. He was selected as an All Conference performer at both positions.

It promises to be a busy few months for the talented tight end. He is also finalizing a visit to Ohio State this spring and more should come quickly.
