Junior Highlights | 2024 Notre Dame CB Commit Karson Hobbs

2024 Archbishop Moeller (Ohio) cornerback Karson Hobbs‍ committed to Notre Dame on November 9th and then finished his junior season in a strong way as the Fighting Crusaders made the state semifinals. 

Hobbs recorded 38 solo tackles, 14 pass breakups, two interceptions, one sack and one forced fumble on the year. The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder also added a few kick returns that totaled over 100 yards combined.

The four-star prospect impressed ISD’s Jamie Uyeyama as Hobbs is someone who is built to play man, which has been a focus of Notre Dame recruiting over the last few cycles. 

“He’s a fluid athlete who can flip his hips and run well,” said Uyeyama. He has legitimate man coverage skills and can play in press or off. Hobbs plays with a good understanding of leverage with his coverage. He knows where his help is and has the short area quickness to close even when he might not be in an ideal position to make a play.” 

And Uyeyama feels Hobbs’ is just scratching the surface of his potential. 

“I’m a big believer in corners needing specific traits in order to succeed at the college level and I see those traits with Hobbs,” Uyeyama said. “I know I’m higher on him than his consensus ranking at the moment, but it’s more of a bet on the pieces of the puzzle he already shows that can translate well going forward.”
