Notre Dame-Navy Visit List Growing

Notre Dame’s Visit List for its final home game of the season is growing and we expect it to continue to do so in the leadup to Saturday’s contest against Navy.

You can check out our full list of confirmed visitors HERE.

Many of the prospects on the list have been on it for a while, but in addition to a trio of 2019 defensive ends, we’ve added several more recruits just this morning.

It’s no surprise that 2019 defensive tackle Jacob Lacey‍ will be making the trip back up from Kentucky. Lacey is excited to return to South Bend again, he’ll be ready to do some recruiting and there will be plenty of it for him to do, especially with fellow 2019 defensive linemen Marcus Hicks‍, Cade Stover‍ and Zach Harrison‍ coming.

There will be a couple top 2020 defensive lineman making the trip as well in 2020 Florida defensive end Chantz Williams‍, who already has offers from schools like Florida, Florida State, Miami, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee. 2020 Illinois defensive tackle Denver Warren‍ will also be on campus. Warren holds early offers from Michigan State, Iowa State, Syracuse and Central Michigan.

Ja'Markis Weston‍ is a 2019 athlete from Florida, who committed to the in-state Gators back in July, but with the coaching change in Gainesville, he’s covering his bases. The 6-foot-3, 195-pounder, who could play receiver, also has offers from Tennessee and Central Florida among others.

2019 Virginia safety Dean Ferguson‍ will be making the trip as well. The 6-foot-2, 208-pounder already has offers from Virginia, Virginia Tech and Maryland among others.

2019 Iowa wide receiver Darien Porter‍, who landed an offer from Iowa State last month, will also be making the trip.

Jase Bowen‍ is the 2019 Ohio safety who is already committed to Notre Dame for baseball. The Toledo native is making his second trip to South Bend this fall and would love to transform his baseball scholarship with the Irish into a football one.

Also, local 2019 wide receiver Jalen Jennings‍ was on campus a couple weeks ago and will be back on Saturday.

UPDATED (12:20 p.m.)

Notre Dame will be hosting a trio of prospects from Michigan’s Grand Blanc High School, where an old friend is its new coach.

Clint Alexander sent three players to South Bend when he was the head coach at Woodberry Forest in Virginia with CJ Prosise, Doug Randolph and Greer Martini all heading to Notre Dame after playing for him. Alexander will be in South Bend for Martini’s Senior Day on Saturday and will be bringing 2019 cornerback Kortez Toles, linebacker Leonard Henry and punter Colton Alexander, his son, with him.

Alexander convinced Toles, a basketball player, to come out for football this fall and the 6-foot-3, 180-pounder already has an offer from Central Michigan. Meanwhile, Henry was moved from defensive end to linebacker, where he was probably his team’s best defensive player, according to Alexander.

2019 Oklahoma defensive end Cole Mashburn also tells us he’ll be in South Bend this weekend. The 6-foot-3, 230-pounder has early offers from Iowa State, Memphis, Arkansas State and North Texas.
