2017 four-star Hinesville (GA) Liberty County athlete Richard LeCounte is high on the radar of several top programs after putting on a clinic at defensive back at the FBU Top Gun camp this week.
However, despite offers from the likes of Georgia, Florida State, Ohio State, Miami and Clemson, there is one offer he's really looking for -- the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
“It would mean a lot,” said LeCounte of a Notre Dame offer. “I’ve got the mailings and stuff like, but they haven’t really recruited me all that hard yet. To see them have interest, that would be big. I’d love to take that ride as a recruit from Notre Dame.
“There is something about Notre Dame that makes everyone want that offer," he added. "It’s a special place. They have tradition and it looks like a nice place to play ball and go to school.”
Per 247Sports' Composite Rankings, LeCounte is the #4 athlete and #52 overall player in the Class of 2017.
