Notre Dame received its 8th commitment in the 2016 recruiting class today when Jalen Elliott pledged to the Irish. Elliott is listed at 6'1" and 175 pounds; the 247 Composite has him as the #652 overall player, #47 athlete, and #21 player in Virginia. Many analysts consider him severely underrated and his offer list supports that sentiment; in addition to the Irish it includes Auburn, Georgia, Miami, North Carolina State, North Carolina, and Virginia Tech, among others. The Auburn and Georgia offers are particularly notable as he just picked them up recently after camping at both schools.
