DE Adetokunbo Ogundeji commits to Notre Dame

In their search for a pass rusher, Notre Dame added an intriguing piece to the puzzle in Michigan defensive end Adetokunbo Ogundeji. The 6-foot-5, 225-pounder picked the Irish over offers from Rutgers, Oregon, Cal and Toledo in a ceremony on Thursday evening. Ogundeji was an early commitment to Western Michigan until he reopened his recruitment as his game tape spread across college football.

While his name will likely force some spelling lessons across ND Nation, Ogundeji is everything you want in a developmental prospect at defensive end. He camped at Notre Dame in late June, earning strong reviews from the Irish staff and defensive line coach Keith Gilmore.
