MV’s Redfield gets an Irish visit

November 27th, 2012, 11:39 am by Steve Fryer

Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly was at Mission Viejo High’s gym Monday to visit Mission Viejo senior receiver/defensive back Max Redfield. Redfield is on the Diablos basketball team, which played North Torrance on Monday in the Diablo Inferno tournament.

Redfield had committed to USC this past spring, withdrew the commitment and re-entered the recruiting process. He made a recruiting trip to Notre Dame in October. Mission Viejo coach Bob Johnson said Oregon and Washington also are in the mix for Redfield.

Redfield might have been the best all-around player in county football this season. He also is a good basketball player. Redfield scored 20 points in Mission’s 91-33 victory over North Torrance.
