Notre Dame on the Road | 1.21
Happy Friday. Notre Dame football coach Marcus Freeman will head to New Jersey on Friday to wrap up the week. He'll check on 2023 safety commit Adon Shuler and then head to Don Bosco Prep (N.J.), the home of 2023 offensive lineman Chase Bisontis. Shuler is solid in his commitment to Notre Dame, but maintaining a presence with those around him is always a positive. Bisontis camped at Notre Dame this summer and didn't make it back for a game. If he released a top group, Notre Dame would make the cut, but there is work for Harry Hiestand to do once he's officially hired. Offensive GA Trevor Mendelson is also expected to be on the visit to Don Bosco Prep.Chase Bisontis Offers: Alabama, Arizona State, Arkansas, Auburn, Boston College, Clemson, UConn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, LSU, Maryland, UMass, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, Pitt, Rutgers, South Carolina, Syracuse, Temple, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, USC, Virginia, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, William & Mary and WisconsinAccording to a source, Notre Dame offensive coordinator Tommy Rees will head to Chicago to make the rounds at several high schools. The biggest stop of the day for Rees will be at Simeon (Ill.) to check on 2023 receiver Malik Elzy, who holds an offer from the Irish. The four-star prospect visited campus in the fall for game and will have the chance to be a regular on campus. Elzy took a visit to Illinois last weekend. Malik Elzy Offers: Malik Elzy Offers: Arkansas, Boston College, Cincinnati, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Purdue, Syracuse, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, West Virginia and WisconsinPer a source, Irish tight ends coach John McNulty and safeties coach Chris O'Leary will be in New Jersey to end the week. McNulty is expected to join Freeman at Don Bosco Prep, but while also making a stop at Iowa Prep (N.Y.) to check on 2024 defensive back Ellis Robinson IV, who recently added an offer from Notre Dame. O'Leary will also be with Freeman to check on Shuler. We're not sure if O'Leary will be at Don Bosco Prep or if McNulty will be at Irvington, but it would make sense. Ellis Robinson IV Offers: Alabama, Arizona, Boston College, UConn, Florida State, Georgia, UMass, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Penn State, Pitt, Rutgers, South Carolina, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Utah State and West Virginia Cornerbacks coach Mike Mickens will wrap his week up in Oklahoma to check on 2023 Booker T. Washington athlete Micah Tease. The four-star prospect has been to Notre Dame and the Irish are very much in this one. Tease is viewed as a cornerback for by the Irish staff, while others project him to end up at receiver. Christian Gray, Malik Muhammad and Tease are three kids likely in the mix for two spots at this point. Micah Tease Offers: Arkansas, Cal, Florida, Iowa State, Memphis, Michigan State, Missouri, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, Pitt, TCU, Texas Tech, Tulsa, USC and WashingtonA source close to 2023 Notre Dame linebacker commit Drayk Bowen expects defensive analyst Nick Leznski to stop by Andrean (Ind.) to check on the top player in the state. Notre Dame has also started to evaluate 2024 Andrean receiver Patrick Clacks following his offer from Pitt. I'm not sure he'll end up being a high Power Five kid, but Notre Dame doing their due diligence on in-state prospects is important. A Fort Wayne source also expects Lezynski to stop by North Side (Ind.) again this week to check on 2024 athlete Brauntae Johnson. Johnson is one of top athletes in the state and will likely receive an offer sooner than later. He projects at receiver or safety. Brauntae Johnson Offers: Central Michigan, Cincinnati, Indiana, Iowa State, Kansas and PurdueAccording to a source, Brian Mason will head out on the road for the first time on Friday. He'll be checking on prospects in the Indianapolis area. 2023 Cathedral defensive lineman Kendrick Gilbert, 2023 Roncalli offensive lineman Trevor Lauck and 2023 New Palestine offensive lineman Luke Burgess are names we expect Mason to check on. Kendrick Gilbert Offers: Boston College, Cincinnati, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami (OH), Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Purdue, Toledo, Vanderbilt, Washington and Wisconsin Trevor Lauck Offers: Boston College, Cincinnati, Duke, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami (OH), Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue, Rutgers, Toledo and West Virginia Luke Burgess Offers: Arizona State, Boston College, Cincinnati, Duke, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Miami (OH), Michigan State, Missouri, Oregon, Purdue, Toledo, Vanderbilt and West Virginia Chad Bowden is expected to end his week in Cincinnati checking on several underclassmen

Wrapping up 2022
A few final notes on the signees: - Notre Dame's staff was very pleased with JD Price's senior season. The ability to pass-catch separates him from some other backs in the country who are explosive and have speed. Price might not have elite speed, but neither did Kyren Williams, who just rushed for 1,000 yards in back-to-back season. Price is faster coming out of HS and will only improve there. - The tight end group has those around the program excited. Eli Raridon is a rare athlete and once he adds weight, he's going to be a scary matchup. The comparison has always been Tyler Eifert, but....Valley Senior Forward @EliRaridon had 37 points in a win over rival Dowling! #iahsbkb @ValleyBBall pic.twitter.com/x0KaXNGAZk— QuadVisual (@AveryQuad) December 11, 2021 - I think some folks forget about Joey Tanona because he was Notre Dame's first commit, but Notre Dame's staff has not. One source stated Tanona "totally dominated" 2023 Cathedral (Ind.) defensive lineman Kendrick Gilbert in the run and pass game this fall, which speaks volumes as Gilbert holds an offer from Notre Dame and several others. - If you talk to the staff, I'd lean towards them admitting they were surprised with Ashton Craig's senior season and that's not a shot at the Lawrenceburg star. It's more of how much his game improved between his junior and senior year. He'll need a year (or two) of development, but Notre Dame is very pleased with his physical development too. - It will be interesting to see where Joshua Burnham and Niuafe Tuihalamaka end up down the road. Both have the athleticism to play linebacker, but also have the chance to outgrow the position. With Prince Kollie on campus, Drayk Bowen committed and Notre Dame likely to land another top 2023 backer, it gives a little flexibility down the road. - Nolan Ziegler has always been the under radar and similar to Joey Tanona because he's been part of the class for so long. Ziegler almost broke the Michigan state record for receiving touchdowns in a season and obviously he's not playing receiver at the next level. It should also be noted Ziegler wasn't necessarily Blake Fisher as the leader of the class, but the four-star prospect did more than his part of recruiting kids and helping over the last few weeks as Notre Dame worked through the coaching transition. - In talking to folks, I think Notre Dame is very confident in its secondary class. All three are probably underrated for various reasons and while not the biggest, all three signees bring needed skillsets to the table. Marcus Freeman and Mike Mickens have a good track record here. Cincinnati has Ahmad Gardner and Coby Bryant, who make up one of the nation's best CB duos. It will be interesting to see what happens there as I'm not sure the freshman class developed as much as the staff hoped as none of them saw time in mop time this year. Maybe it was because Notre Dame was going for style points, but Cam Hart, TaRiq Bracy and Clarence Lewis played too many snaps. That's not to say there isn't potential there, but I think the staff already loves the 2022 class.- I also believe Notre Dame has started to do more research and reach out to a few 2022 receivers in DJ Allen, Omar Cooper Jr. and Stephon Johnson, while also looking at few more names and obviously the portal. I'm not sure Allen will be an option as multiple people in Texas said he would not be a fit at Notre Dame and I believe that's why the staff stopped recruiting him the first place. Cooper is a name to watch, but Notre Dame didn't make a move on the in-state prospect previously and were very aware of him. In talking to a coach at another school, he felt Cooper was a Power Five kid, but would likely get recruited over at a place like Notre Dame or even a Michigan, which is why those programs didn't offer in the first place. Obviously, Notre Dame is in a weird position at WR so they may be forced to look at a few guys they don't totally love but have upside.

National Average Rating

The National Average Rating is a proprietary formula that calculates an industry-wide aggregate rating for each recruiting prospect. The formula includes publicly listed grades, scores, ratings and rankings by national recruiting services, along with a Irish Sports Daily rating. Combining the data provides a rating for each prospect, which is then normalized to fit the Irish Sports Daily Rating 100-point scale.

The intent of this rating is to provide Irish Sports Daily readers with a comprehensive snapshot of how individual prospects rank nationally.
