Tristan Bounds

2021 Foster (Texas) four-star OL Reuben Fatheree has committed to Texas A&M.Notre Dame never quite gained enough traction as he wasn't able ever to get on campus. Fatheree had spoken about getting to South Bend and it was very likely he would have been on campus in June, but the dead period allowed A&M to surge. Now, it wasn't likely he was leaving the state of Texas for what it's worth.2021 Ben Davis (Ind.) CB Daylan Carnell has committed to Mizzou. Carnell had been removed from the ISD target list for quite some time as the Irish focused their attention on many other cornerbacks/defensive backs. Carnell was tired and sick at Irish Invasion in the summer and didn't have the best camp and it was crickets after that. It was similar to former Indy cornerback DJ Johnson where Notre Dame was likely the leader heading into camp but following, the Irish cooled on both prospects. I do think Carnell has some unique physical traits, but in the 2-3 camps I've seen him at, he's never quite jumped off the page on the field. But that's based off 2-3 times seeing him, so it's not a ton of work.I would also expect Michigan to land 2021 Choate Rosemary Hall (Conn.) offensive lineman Tristan Bounds in the near future. I think the Wolverines have some momentum here. The interesting aspect here will be the number of offensive linemen Michigan takes and how it impacts Rocco Spindler. If Bounds does commit to Michigan, he would be No. 4. Michigan is also expected to land Noble And Greenough School (Mass.) offensive lineman Drew Kendall and that would make No. 5. There is no question Michigan would take six offensive linemen if Spindler wanted to jump on board, but I would highly doubt being part of a 6-man OL class is attractive to him.
