Notre Dame got some good news at The Opening today when physical specimen and British Columbian Chase Claypool became the 12th commitment in the 2016 class. At The Opening regional event in Oregon, Claypool measured 6'5" and 213 pounds with a 4.66 40 yard dash time. The 247 Composite has him as the #331 overall player, #55 wide receiver, and #1 player in Canada. Claypool is the kind of exceptional athlete that a coaching staff will design a role for; the Irish staff will start him at his preferred position of wide receiver, but he has the potential to end up at tight end, safety, defensive end, or outside linebacker as well.
