How the top RB in the last 16 Notre Dame football recruiting classes have fared

Last week I broke down how the top wide receiver in the last 16 Notre Dame recruiting classes had fared out of a conversation sprung from the Jordan Johnson debate. It was an interesting look that forced us to rethink a few things, and in doing so, it made me curious about the other position groups.

So here we are... let’s do the running backs. The top running back from each recruiting class since 2005 according to the 247 Composite rankings.

2005 — 3-Star Asaph Schwapp

It’s almost unimaginable to think that a fullback would be the highest rated running back for a Notre Dame team in the 21st century.
