Notre Dame football added another piece to its 2024 recruiting class Friday afternoon when 4-star tight end Jack Larsen verbally committed to the Fighting Irish. The 6’3″/220-pounder out of Charlotte, North Carolina is the 4th player to join Notre Dame’s group of 2024 commits, a group which has now passed Florida State for the #1 spot in the country. For those of you keeping track at home, that puts the Irish at the #1 spot in the 247 Composite Class Rankings for both 2023 and 2024. Which happens to be pretty good.

Cohort
In addition to Notre Dame, Jack also holds offers from Alabama, Florida, Ohio State, Michigan, Texas A&M, Clemson and others. His offer list totals 25 school across the country.
Highlights
Jack’s film is a fun one to watch. He starts things off with an absolute banger of a first clip wherein he makes a diving one-handed grab in the endzone (which apparently was called incomplete but I think he got a foot down?). He has an outstanding catch radius, making difficult catches look routine. He excels at controlling his body to adjust to throws, which makes him incredibly difficult to defend.
Impact
Jack has a lot of physical development to do before he’ll be ready for the college level, but the good news is he’s just a 2024 kid right now. We’re at least a year and a half away from him arriving on campus, which gives him plenty of time. Right now he’s more of a receiving threat only, though he shows a willingness to develop his blocking as well. He’d work great in an H-back role, where he can line up at different spots to create mismatches. If you’re interested in a potential-based projection, read Jamie Uyeyama’s Film Don’t Lie on him. Jamie views Jack’s potential as an Irv Smith Jr/Sr type of player. That’s something I think we’d all be happy with.

Welcome to the Irish family, Jack!
Shows excellent hands and ball skills on his film. He seems to be still growing so he very well could be 6’5″ by the time he reaches ND. He looks like another ND get that will move up in the rankings before his signing day.
Probably the most interesting thing about 2024 recruiting this week is brandon davis swain jumped to a top 30 player on rivals, giving two top 30 guys already in this class.
Since they’re only taking 1 TE in 23 I hope they stay in market for another potential one in 24
Yep, BDS is up to #66 overall in the composite now
It’s always fun to watch how much those early commits move in the rankings by signing day.
