Notre Dame broke the seal on 2020 secondary recruiting today when Clarence Lewis became the 12th commitment in the class. The 6'1", 185-pound New Jerseyan committed less than 24 hours after the conclusion of his official visit; safe to say the staff and the school made a big impression on him. At the New Jersey [...]
Welcome back to the 2020 Football Recruiting Big Board! Today we're back to looking at the offense. Check out Tyler's recent defensive big board update for our take on the other side of the ball. Position 247C First Name Last Name Temp Hometown State OG 0.9564 Andrew Raym Cold Broken Arrow OK OG 0.9224 Geirean [...]
Welcome back to the 2020 Football Recruiting Big Board! In case you missed it, check out Jaden's Offensive Big Board Update from a couple weeks ago. Today we are taking a look at Notre Dame's targets along the defensive side of the ball. There are a lot of names on the list, so let's just [...]
Speed freaks, rejoice! Notre Dame picked up its most important skill position recruit in a long, long time when elite back Chris Tyree pledged to the Irish today. Tyree is the kind of home-run threat Notre Dame needs to land to field an offense that can run with the big boys; he ran the fastest [...]
Welcome back to the 2020 Football Recruiting Big Board! In case you missed it, make sure to check out Brendan's comprehensive initial Big Board update. He mentioned that we'd start with defense on two week rotations. However, we're going to go ahead with offense since there are currently more developments on that side of the ball. [...]
Notre Dame's 2020 class got a big boost today, literally and figuratively, when elite offensive tackle Tosh Baker pledged to the Irish. The 6'8", 275-pound Arizonan made his second trek to campus for the March junior day; reading the tea leaves, it seems that OL coach Jeff Quinn more or less sealed the deal on [...]
Notre Dame continued its recent run of defensive line success when blue-chip prospect Rylie Mills committed to the Irish. The 6'5", 275-pound Illinoisan conducted a round of official visits to his finalists in April and didn't wait too long to make his decision. Mills is ranked as a strong-side defensive end, but in all likelihood [...]
After a looooooooooooo... [inhale] oooooooong hiatus, we're pleased to bring back the football recruiting Big Board! We knew it had been a while, but we looked at our archives and dayyyyuuummm. We typically wait for a little while after signing day, as we did this year, to launch the Big Board posts; that keeps them [...]
Notre Dame gained its 8th member in the 2020 recruiting class today with the commitment of long snapper Alex Peitsch. The Washington DC native is highly, highly regarded at the position and joins a list of Notre Dame long snappers with impressive high school pedigrees. Committed! #FightingIrish pic.twitter.com/IkOv8dCOLb — Alex Peitsch (@AlexPeitsch) April 24, 2019 [...]
The Islands gave another gift to Notre Dame today when blue-chip WDE Jordan Botelho announced his commitment to the Irish. The 6-3, 230-pound Hawaiian profiles perfectly to the drop end position that Julian Okwara rather magnificently occupies today; we'll get into this more below, but position isn't close to the only thing Okwara and Botelho [...]
Notre Dame football received an extremely welcome surprise tonight, as borderline 5-star wide receiver Jordan Johnson has decided to verbally commit to the Fighting Irish. The 6'2"/180-pounder out of St Louis, MO is the sixth commit to join the Irish Recruiting Class of 2020, and the highest-rated one to date. All glory to the [...]
By most recruiting analyst opinions the 2008 Notre Dame class was the most talented for the school in the period between the #1 class of 1995 and the most recent 2019 class. It was the class that firmly cemented Charlie Weis as an ace recruiter who could talk the talk. Over a period of nearly [...]
Notre Dame's 2021 recruiting class received its second commit tonight in OL Greg Crippen. He joins QB Tyler Buchner who just recently committed, as well. Originally from Milton, MA, Crippen transferred to IMG Academy in Florida this past year to improve his game and gain exposure. He cited academics as a major factor in his [...]
Notre Dame football recruiting always has a lot of talk about states, regions, a national profile, pipelines, and Catholic schools. Like perhaps no other school in history, the Fighting Irish have covered a vast swath of territory (now including Germany for 2020!) in order to fill their recruiting classes. Since Brian Kelly's 2010 class the [...]
Notre Dame's 2021 recruiting class started off with a bang today when elite quarterback Tyler Buchner pledged to the Irish. The 6'2", 200-pound Californian was reportedly one of the staff's top targets regardless of position in this class, which makes this an especially excellent way to kick it off. He didn't playt much in his [...]
