Notre Dame may be having a relatively quiet recruiting weekend for its spring game, but other programs are using their inter-squad exhibitions to have larger ones. And many of those schools will be hosting some Irish targets. Ohio State is having its spring game this weekend and will have several athletes on campus including 2021 Maryland offensive lineman Landon Tengwall, who named Notre Dame his leader following a visit to South Bend last month. Other recent Notre Dame visitors who will be in Columbus this weekend include 2021 offensive lineman Harisen Miller, 2021 linebacker Yanni Karlaftis, 2020 running back Michael Drennen II and 2020 defensive end Darrion Henry. Oklahoma has shifted its spring game from Saturday to tonight because of weather. Like the Buckeyes, the Sooners will be hosting some recent Notre Dame visitors. 2020 offensive lineman Jimmy Christ and 2020 cornerback Ryan Watts were both in South Bend on officials last week. 2020 running back Chris Tyree was at Notre Dame a couple weeks ago and is scheduled to be in Norman this weekend along with 2020 offensive lineman Roger Rosengarten, 2020 safety Lathan Ransom and 2020 defensive back Dontae Manning. Texas A&M has also moved its spring game from Saturday to Friday and they will also be hosting several targets, including some on the Notre Dame radar, perhaps none more so than 2020 wide receiver Maliq Carr. Other recruits expected in College Station this weekend include 2020 defensive end Alfred Collins, 2020 receiver Troy Omeire and 2021 defensive ends Tunmise Adeleye and Landon Jackson. Meanwhile, Texas has decided not to shift the date of its spring game, which could allow for prospects like Omeire and Collins to attend both. The Longhorns are also expected to host 2020 running back Bijan Robinson, 2020 offensive lineman Chad Lindberg and 2021 offensive lineman Tommy Brockermeyer. After a great visit to Notre Dame last weekend, 2020 cornerback Jalen Kimber will be at Florida this weekend for his last unofficial visit before planning officials. 2020 Washington, D.C., athlete Mordecai McDaniel was also in South Bend last weekend and will also be in Gainesville this weekend. 2020 running back Kyle Edwards is scheduled to be at Alabama as is top 2021 tight end Cane Berrong. 2020 tight end/defensive end Ben Yurosek was at Notre Dame a couple weeks ago and is expected to be at Washington this weekend.

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.
