Notre Dame’s recruiting momentum continued to pick up steam on Thursday when the Irish added their 10th commitment for the class of 2021 – defensive end Jason Onye from Rhode Island. Onye is the second commitment in the last two days for Notre Dame in a rollercoaster week of recruiting.
Earlier this week, cornerback Philip Riley, a 4-star cornerback committed to Notre Dame on the heels of top running back Will Shipley spurring the Irish for Clemson. The Riley commitment was the first big win for new cornerbacks coach Mike Mickens who was brought in, in part, to bolster Notre Dame’s recruiting efforts at cornerback.
