After picking up an offer from Notre Dame last week, Jackson Coleman quickly locked in a visit to South Bend for this weekend.
The 2027 Colorado wide receiver is set to be on campus Friday and stay through Saturday’s Blue-Gold Game.
Head coach Marcus Freeman and wide receivers coach Mike Brown extended the offer last week.
“Super excited,” Coleman said of his reaction to landing the offer. “The program's a very good program. Coach Freeman's done amazing things and I’m just super pumped to get up and see what Notre Dame's all about.
“I really want to get up there and go check the place out, so I’m excited.”
Brown explained why he wanted the Irish to get involved.
“They like what they saw in me,” he said. “Coach Brown kind of found me and did a lot of research and there was a quick turnaround.
“He just said he likes my length, likes my speed and he said that Notre Dame doesn't have a lot of receivers like that and would love for me to be a part of the team.”
The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder will use this visit to get a better feel for the program and continue getting to know the staff.
“Just build more relationships with these coaches, considering how I just met everybody and it's kind of the biggest thing and get to see the campus,” he said.
The Valor Christian High School standout has been active on the road this spring as he continues to evaluate his options.
“I've been to Oregon, been to Miami, been to Cal and Stanford this spring and then Northwestern,” he said.
The Highlands Ranch, Colo., native is still working through what his process will look like in the coming months and isn’t sure if he’ll take official visits before making a final decision or not.
“I don't really know what my plan is yet,” he said. “I’m still kind of figuring that out as things move forward.”
He does have an idea of what factors will ultimately drive that decision.
“Culture and coaches are very important to me. Those are the two biggest things.”
