Notre Dame has plenty to look forward to with the Faison family, as Dylan Faison, the younger brother of current Irish player Jordan Faison, continues to impress in his final high school season. Committed to the Fighting Irish for the 2025 class, Dylan is not only living up to his family name but also showcasing the explosiveness that Marcus Freeman and offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock value for Notre Dame’s future.
Dylan’s recent performances have been particularly noteworthy. Just a couple of weeks after breaking his high school’s single-game touchdown record with four scores, he followed up with three more touchdowns in consecutive games. His latest outing was a show of versatility and athleticism, as he found the end zone three different ways: on an interception return, a kick return, and a punt return. Standing at 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, Dylan’s ability to impact the game in various ways hints at his potential to be a dynamic weapon for the Irish next year. His playmaking skills should mesh well with Notre Dame’s offensive scheme, and he’ll be one to watch as he joins his brother on the field in South Bend.

Offensively, Faison recorded 8 catches for 47 yards, bringing his season totals to 43 receptions for 557 yards and 7 touchdowns. He’s also been a factor in the run game, with 28 carries for 89 yards and 2 more scores.
On defense, he snagged 2 interceptions, including a pick-six, showing his effectiveness as a two-way player. Special teams are where Faison’s explosiveness shines brightest—he notched a 72-yard punt return touchdown and a 99-yard kick return touchdown in the game. For the season, he’s racked up 8 punt returns for 423 yards (including 1 touchdown) and 6 kick returns for 185 yards. Faison’s versatility and playmaking ability are setting a high bar, and Notre Dame fans have every reason to be excited about the future Irish playmaker.
