Elijah Gaines

Notre Dame isn't the only program taking advantage high school spring break this month to get top prospects on campus. Ohio State has also been busy hosting targets this week and, in fact, many of the same ones that have or are making the trip over to South Bend. 2020 California cornerback Clark Phillips is set to take a long-anticipated unofficial to Notre Dame today, after stopping in Columbus yesterday. 2020 Arizona offensive lineman Tosh Baker will be hosted by the Buckeyes today before heading to South Bend tomorrow. After visiting Notre Dame last weekend, 2020 Massachusetts Zak Zinter has stayed busy on the road, checking out Ohio State and Penn State in the days since with a trip at Michigan scheduled next. https://twitter.com/zak_zinter/status/1110588371158663169https://twitter.com/zak_zinter/status/1111260252664668165 2020 Virginia defensive back Elijah Gaines is set to check out Michigan this weekend along with his Episcopal High School secondarymate, 2021 Bryce Steele. Incoming Notre Dame freshman Litchfield Ajavon is from Episcopal, but the school has players at top programs across the country, including Michigan. This weekend, the Buckeyes are also set to host 2020 New Jersey safety Jordan Morant, who will stop at Michigan first, along with 2020 Cincinnati teammates, defensive end Darrion Henry and linebacker Jaheim Thomas. While Notre Dame and Ohio State are among the most active programs hosting prospects this week, no individual target will be busier than Jalen Kimber, who has a top three of Notre Dame, Texas and Alabama. The 2020 Texas cornerback is in the midst of squeezing in six visits to Georgia Tech, Georgia, Clemson, South Carolina, Alabama and Auburn in three days.https://twitter.com/J_BOOGIE_5/status/1111318252704223233 After checking out South Bend earlier in the week, 2020 Colorado offensive lineman Roger Rosengarten is spending a couple days at Iowa. Prior to getting to Notre Dame on Saturday, 2020 New York athlete Cullen Coleman is set to check out Purdue today. 2020 Michigan defensive lineman Braiden McGregor has been as busy as anybody during the month and will be out again tomorrow, checking out Penn State. Also, keep an eye on Jalen Logan-Redding, who visits Texas A&M this weekend. The 2020 Missouri defensive end doesn't have an offer from the Aggies yet, but it's hard to imagine them pushing to get him down to College Station unless one was on the way.

A couple high school coaches of major targets explain why they're sold on Notre Dame, a top Irish target has compliments for a top Notre Dame commit and more.

2020 Virginia DB Elijah Gaines goes to the same school as 2019 Irish safety signee Litchfield Ajavon and plans to get to South Bend soon now that he has an offer.
