Decommitting from Notre Dame is going to be an expensive proposition for Tristen Hoge's family.
Hoge, a four-star offensive lineman in the class of 2015 from Pocatello, Idaho according to Rivals, committed to Notre Dame in December. Recently his family surprised him with a Notre Dame-themed wrap on his Ford truck.
Big surprise from my parents with the wrap. Definitely committed to the Irish for life. GO IRISH. pic.twitter.com/Y6dQSiG27O

If you can't see what the writing says, the script is "Built Irish Tough" in a take on the Ford truck motto. That accompanies the two Notre Dame decals on the back windshield of the truck. While recruiting can be a fickle world, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly probably doesn't have to worry about Hoge flipping his commitment anytime soon.
Hoge is the No. 7 offensive lineman in the class of 2015 and the No. 129 prospect overall. With National Signing Day on Wednesday, Notre Dame's 2014 class is ranked No. 9 in the country with 22 commitments.
