Coach Shrewsberry on Haralson

“When I first got the job here, from a recruiting perspective, immediately Jalen was a top target for us. Jalen was someone who we knew was an elite player and a great kid as well. His combination of size, athleticism, passing ability, and versatility have long made him one of the top players in his class nationally, and given him the ability to represent the country with USA Basketball. We couldn’t be more excited about what Jalen is going to bring to Notre Dame.”

Staff on Haralson

As a five-star recruit and one of the truly elite players in the United States, we focused on Jalen Haralson immediately once we got to South Bend. Given the competition for a player of his caliber, we knew it wouldn’t be easy to land him, but Jalen immediately saw our vision for him as a player, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled when he announced his commitment and decided to make Notre Dame his college home.

What makes Jalen so unique is that he has no real hole in his game. Like every other player, he has room to get better, but he already possesses a college-ready game. His athleticism is top-level. He is as good as a passer as anybody his size in the class, and he’s also a gifted scorer.

Beyond that, Jalen is someone who has been coached very well. Beginning at Fishers High School and now at La Lumiere, he has been in tremendous systems where he has learned to play the game the right way, and also has continued to get better.

Playing with Indy Heat in the EYBL, Jalen proved to be one of the best, leading them in scoring, and being one of the true impact players in the entire country.

Off the court, Jalen is a good student and a great kid who comes from a great family. His two brothers have been a tremendous influence on him, and his parents, Shantel and Art, are excellent leaders who have instilled a work ethic in Jalen on and off the court that is unsurpassed.

Jalen chose Notre Dame over offers from Indiana, Purdue, Michigan State, Kansas, Auburn and others.
