The first visit to Notre Dame went so well for 2014 offensive tackle Jimmy Byrne (Cleveland, Ohio/St. Ignatius), he decided to make it back again a few months later.
Byrne was back in South Bend, Ind., Saturday for the Fighting Irish's game against Michigan. The first time he was on campus he picked up an offer from Notre Dame.
