Notre Dame received two huge defensive commitments during the weekend: DE Jonathan MacCollister and cornerback Saiid Adebo.
Jonathan MacCollister is a 6’4″, 250-lb. defensive end from Bishop Moore High School in Orlando, Florida. He is rated as a three-star recruit by 247 Sports, Scout and Rivals which sounds low considering he had offers from 40 schools. Among the schools that Notre Dame beat out are Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Ohio State, Michigan State, UCLA, Oregon, Utah and Virginia Tech. MacCollister is from the same high school as incoming Parker Boudreaux and was one of the reasons he committed to Notre Dame.
