The Notre Dame Preparatory freshmen boys’ basketball team started a group chat in November, but one of the players accidentally typed the wrong number for one of the teammates, reports ESPN. The rest of the story was chronicled by one of the school counselors on Twitter. 

The “random” person on the other end of the chat was cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting. He is originally from Macomb Township in Michigan, which is about 30 minutes away from Notre Dame, located in Pontiac.

The boys, on the other hand, were still quite skeptical and believe their friend was joking with them. 

After some more back-and-forth, Murphy-Bunting FaceTimes the group while inside the team’s locker room. The Bucs player hands his phone to Leonard Fournette and the running back went on to introduce the boys to Mike Evans, Rob Gronkowski, and Richard Sherman.

Whalen said the young boys started “getting greedy” and requested to see the GOAT, Tom Brady.

The Bucs quarterback eventually appears on FaceTime and asks, “What’s up fellas?”

“The boys lose their minds,” Whalen tweeted.

Eventually, all good things must come to an end. After briefly speaking to Brady, Murphy-Bunting ended the video call saying, “Ball out this season,” according to Whalen.
