It was an extremely busy month of June for the Notre Dame staff. With multiple commits since our last update, the Irish have been reaping the benefits from those three weeks of official visits -- and they're not done yet. The Irish are still expecting a couple of more commits in the near future, and [...]
Notre Dame football got one step closer to filling out its elite linebacker haul of 2022 today when linebacker Niuafe "Junior" Tuihalamaka verbally committed to the Fighting Irish. The 6'2"/235-pounder out of Mission Hills, CA is the 15th player to join Notre Dame's recruiting class of 2022 -- a class which currently ranks #2 in [...]
The board has been fairly quiet recently, but with the NCAA recruiting dead period ending last week on June 1st, expect that not to be the case over the next few weeks. Notre Dame has already starting bringing recruits to South Bend, holding the Irish Invasion this past weekend mostly to get a jump on [...]
We're just under three weeks away from the end of the longest dead period in the history of modern college football recruiting. There hasn't been a ton of movement since our last defensive big board update, but I fully expect that to change within the next couple of months after recruits have a chance to [...]
A few weeks back we kicked off the 2022 defensive Big Board with a comprehensive rundown of where things stood. Fast forward almost a month and we do have some movement, with commitments coming at linebacker and defensive end and official visits being set up for the month of June. We will certainly see some [...]
Notre Dame fans were given another reason to celebrate this Saint Patrick's day, when 4-star linebacker Josh Burnham announced his verbal commitment to the Fighting Irish. The 6'4"/215-pounder out of Traverse City, MI is the eleventh player to commit to Notre Dame for the class -- the 5th on the defensive side of the ball. [...]
Notre Dame added its first defensive secondary commitment from the 2022 class today when cornerback Jaden Mickey verbally committed to the Fighting Irish. The 5'11"/175-pounder out of Corona, CA is the tenth player to commit to Notre Dame for the class -- the fourth on the defensive side of the ball. Notre Dame's class currently [...]
Notre Dame football received its 24th commit in the 2021 class on Wednesday when defensive end Devin Aupiu verbally committed to the Fighting Irish. The 6'5"/220-pounder out of California had previously been committed to Chip Kelly and the UCLA Bruins since April, but a Notre Dame offer from the superior Kelly in late November would [...]
Up until today, linebacker was the position with the longest running recruiting drought for Notre Dame football. It had been 628 days since the Fighting Irish last received a verbal commitment (JD Bertand -- November 19, 2018 if you were wondering). That long drought finally ended today when Prince Kollie decided to verbally commit to [...]
Notre Dame football gained some much-needed good news this Friday afternoon, as defensive end David Abiara has decided to verbally commit to the Fighting Irish. The 6'4"/250-pounder out of Mansfield, TX is the 3rd defensive commit in Notre Dame's class of 2021, joining defensive tackle Gabe Rubio and safety Justin Walters. David first received his [...]
One of the biggest question marks heading into the season was how the linebacker position would shake out. I wasn't overly concerned because 1) there's plenty of raw material to work with, and 2) I'm pretty sure Clark Lea is good at his job. But Lea still had his work cut out for him. However, [...]
Notre Dame Fighting Irish lacrosse announced Ryan Wellner as the team's new defensive coordinator and director of recruiting. Wellner had been the defensive coordinator at Navy since 2011 and the assistant head coach since 2017. Prior to his term in Annapolis, he served in similar roles at Stony Brook, Stevens Institute of Technology, and the [...]
Welcome back to this latest edition of the 2020 Football Recruiting Big Board! Since our last big board update, the Irish have received verbal commitments from four different prospects -- receivers Jay Brunelle and Xavier Watts on offense, as well as defensive backs Landen Bartleson and Caleb Offord on defense. With us reaching the dead [...]
Notre Dame's 2020 class added its third defensive back today when Caleb Offord announced his pledge to the Irish. The 6'1", 173-pound prospect will be the first Mississippian on the roster since receiver Jay Johnson, whose final season was 2000 (one year after Tupelo product Jarious Jackson exhausted his eligibility, if you're wondering). Notre Dame [...]
