Mundelein (Ill.) Carmel Catholic Top247 offensive tackle Wyatt VanBoening is a top target in the class of 2028 for a ton of programs across the country. The 6-7, 280-pound prospect has over a dozen offers under his belt, including Auburn, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Iowa State, and others.

Notre Dame offered back in March. The Fighting Irish have been pushing hard ever since. Offensive line coach Joe Rudolph would love nothing more than to eventually land VanBoening, who is 247Sports’ No. 110 overall player in the country and No. 13 offensive tackle in America.

So, what kind of shot do the Fighting Irish have? Why is VanBoening interested in Notre Dame?

Here is what he told 247Sports.
