TOP OF THE MORNIN’ TO YA

We’re told 2023 Georgia running back Justice Haynes‍ is scheduled to have Zoom Call with Brian Kelly today. Haynes is very interested in the Irish as is his dad, who we did a story with earlier this month, where he talked about his relationship with Jerome Bettis.

We mentioned 2023 California quarterback Nicholaus Iamaleava‍ as a potential fit for Notre Dame two months ago. We’re told Iamaleava had a call with Irish quarterbacks coach/offensive coordinator Tommy Rees on Monday and a call from his camp to Notre Dame Director of Recruiting Aaryn Kearney was expected on Tuesday.

2023 Texas defensive back Jayvon Thomas‍, son of former Irish linebacker Joe Thomas, is scheduled to have a call with Notre Dame on Wednesday afternoon. It’s a call the family is very excited about.
