2024 WR Jaylan Hornsby Talks Notre Dame Offer

Jaylan Hornsby‍ has received some major scholarship offers over the past several months, but the 2024 New Jersey wide receiver didn’t see another one coming when he was speaking with Notre Dame wide receivers coach Chansi Stuckey last week.

“He was just letting me know what I would be getting myself into and how my recruitment was going to go and he was just letting me know that they were going to offer me,” the Camden High School star told Irish Sports Daily.

“He was just congratulating me and asking me about the family and stuff like that. It was a good conversation.

“I was super surprised. I was very grateful for it. I'm just happy that I have the chance to be a part of something big at Notre Dame. I was just surprised mainly.”

Hornsby’s offer sheet also includes schools like Georgia, Michigan, Penn State, Maryland, Boston College, Pitt and Rutgers among others.

What he knows about Notre Dame at this point is positive.

“I know that they're a big school,” the 6-foot-3, 195-pounder said. “I know that the wide receiver positions are going to start opening up over there for me, so I know I have a big chance of playing over there.

“The main thing I know about them right now is the wide receiver position is going to open up soon.”

Hornsby isn’t sure when, but he wants to get out to South Bend for a visit when he can.

“I'm going to definitely try to get out there and build relationships with them and see how the campus is and the environment is out there,” he said.

Other schools with serious mutual interest include Georgia, Tennessee, Syracuse and Michigan.
