A certain lovable Lug(g) just couldn't stay away any longer.
Notre Dame received its third commitment in the 2017 recruiting class today when Keystone State offensive tackle Josh Lugg pledged to the Irish. Lugg is listed at 6'6" and 288 pounds; in the 2017 247 Composite, he is the #171 overall player, #27 offensive tackle, and #6 player in Pennsylvania.
Lugg has already made multiple trips to Notre Dame; the most recent included his mother, who was on campus for the first time. The way young Josh spoke about Notre Dame before that visit, many felt his mother might have been along to provide an imprimatur - and the results today would seem to bear that out.
