Notre Dame finally landed their quarterback for the 2018 recruiting class and one thing is clear, they really wanted one. After losing previously committed Cade McNamara to Michigan, and engaging in a battle to sway Graham Mertz from Wisconsin, Notre Dame zeroed in on three star Brendon Clark, from Manchester High School in Virginia.
There was some question as to whether Notre Dame needed a quarterback in the 2018 class with Brandon Wimbush, Ian Book, and incoming freshman Phil Jurkovec all with multiple seasons of eligibility remaining and 2020 signal caller Drew Pyne already announcing his commitment to the Irish.
