2025 DL Juju Marks Talks Notre Dame, Top 11
On Monday, Juju Marks trimmed a list of dozens of offers down to 11.
The 2025 Kansas defensive lineman announced a Top 11 of Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Michigan, Kansas, Alabama, USC, Oregon, Miami, Missouri, Kansas State and Tennessee.
“They really just stuck out to me because they've really communicating with me more than anybody else,” the 6-foot-7, 275-pounder said of his top schools.
“Obviously, the culture and development in academics and athletics.
From here, the St. Thomas Aquinas standout plans to continue engaging with his top schools.
“Definitely just continuing to recruit and build relationships,” he said.
Marks said the communication with the Irish “hasn’t hasn't been crazy the last few weeks, but it's still there.”
His main point of contact in South Bend is defensive coordinator Al Golden.
Golden has had a simple message for Marks throughout.
“Notre Dame is the place to be,” Marks said of what Golden tells him.
Marks visited Notre Dame this past summer and said he’ll “definitely” be back for an official visit.
“Just the culture, honestly,” he said when asked what he’d like to get a better feel for when he gets back.
He doesn’t have any visits locked in at the moment, but plans to be busy on the road.
“Probably just take a bunch of officials to get a feel for everything,” he said.
Marks expects to make a final decision later next summer.
“Right before the senior season starts.”
