Following Wednesday’s National Letter of Intent day in college football, the vast majority of football recruits are now officially committed to a program. The result of the recruiting class that Notre Dame was able to secure for 2020 was a ranking of No.11 from 247Sports, which is widely held as one of the best college football recruiting analysis sites.
At first glance, Irish fans may be disappointed with where their team finished in the overall rankings. This is especially true, since other college football powerhouse programs such as Clemson (ranked 1st), Alabama (ranked 2nd), Ohio State (ranked 3rd), Georgia (ranked 4th), LSU (ranked 5th), Auburn (ranked 7th), Florida (ranked 8th) and Oklahoma (ranked 10th) all finished ahead of Notre Dame in recruitment rankings for this class.
