247Sports National Analyst Brian Dohn: “Bauman has ideal size for a Notre Dame tight end. He can play in-line and he is physical as a blocker. He has outstanding hands and he tracks the ball very well. He improved his ability to separate from his junior season to his senior season. While some tight ends are built to flex out and get down the field, Bauman is of the more traditional variety. He will be able to move the chains and is a possession type of tight end who will be rugged after the catch. From a strength standpoint, he will be able to play early with the Irish.”

Quote on Notre Dame: "I'm hoping they're excited," said Bauman, when asked what he wants Notre Dame fans to know about him. "I'm going to bring excitement, hard work, dedication and just a love for the program and the school. I want to be someone that they can watch and be proud that I'm part of that program. With all I do with workouts, in the game, as a teammate, as a leader, in the classroom, I just want people to know I'm a well-rounded individual, both on the field and off the field, and I'm a person that's going to give my all to chase my dreams."
