In a recent interview with Irish Illustrated and 247Sports, Sachse (Texas) high school four-star defensive lineman Hunter Spears, a longtime Notre Dame commit, was asked about a hidden talent. With no hesitation, the 6-4, 280-pounder from the class of 2019 said he could rap.

“I can freestyle, but I like to keep it on the low..."

When the story was released on Twitter, the future Fighting Irish football player wrote, "50 retweets and I'll drop a freestyle." Well, the number currently sits at 82. A man of his word, Spears took to Twitter and released this video, a 36 second rap. Notre Dame fans will definitely want to check this out.

“Alright. I said I would do it, so here goes nothing. Straight off the top, 50 retweets so I had to drop. I’ve been through a lot. Been at the bottom, I’m back at the top, and I ain’t gonna stop til’ the champagne pop. Senior year, yeah I’m ready to ball. Can’t afford to fall cause I’m comin’ for it all. Finished my business, then it’s a new start. Blue and gold, cause I’m Irish to the heart. 11 natty champs, yeah we bringin’ them home. Got the crystal balls and a golden dome. Chasing a ring, yeah we in our bag. Can’t afford to wait, no time to drag. And we back again, September 1 coming against Michigan, I’m home with ND. Not a Cali boy, couldn’t go to ‘SC, livin’ like it’s 49-14. Yessir."

Spears committed to Notre Dame back on Feb.20. He chose the Fighting Irish over offers from Alabama, Baylor, Cal, Colorado, Michigan State, TCU, Texas Tech, Virginia and many others. Per the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Spears is the No. 287 overall player in the country, No. 17 defensive tackle nationally and No. 36 prospect in Texas from the class of 2019.

“It’s almost like another question back at you, ‘why not Notre Dame?’,” said Spears, when asked for the reasons behind his pledge to the Fighting Irish. “As soon as I stepped foot on the campus, I immediately fell in love with the atmosphere, just the tradition, culture and history that it campus, especially with the academics and the great football they have. What place could be better?”

Prior to missing his junior season with an ACL injury, Spears had a terrific sophomore season. He totaled 55 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, four sacks and two forced fumbles. After a strong spring, Spears is looking to bounce back in a big way this fall.

“Obviously, losing a whole season and not being able to play was a pretty traumatic thing for me, but having them as a support system and knowing that they still wanted me throughout the process, that really meant a lot to me,” said Spears of the Irish coaching staff. “It spoke a lot to me about what type of people they are and their character and the morals they stand for. It made me feel good about my decision, knowing that those are the people that I’ll be in the hands of for the next couple of years.”

Following his senior season, Spears will enroll early at Notre Dame and arrive on campus in January.
