Watch: Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, Notre Dame linebacker commit, registers impressive pick-6

St. John Bosco (California) four-star linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa began his career with a bang, establishing himself as one of California's top young defensive prospects as a freshman.

After missing his sophomore season with an injury, the versatile 6-foot-3, 230-pound 'backer re-established himself as a star on the field.

This time, as one of the top linebackers in the nation, registering 111 tackles and helping lead St. John Bosco to a national championship.

As a senior, Viliamu-Asa is the heart and soul of the Braves' defense. 

And he showed it Friday night.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish commit dropped back into coverage, registered an interception and returned it 38 yards for a touchdown:

Viliamu-Asa is rated as highly as the nation's No. 30 overall prospect and No. 3 linebacker by Rivals. 

He committed to Notre Dame over Ohio State and USC in a surprise decision in July.

Overall, Notre Dame's 2024 recruiting class is ranked No. 12 nationally.
