New Notre Dame defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Marcus Freeman has hit the ground running on the recruiting trail to say the least. Following Wednesday’s commitment from top-100 linebacker Joshua Burnham, Notre Dame has two 4-star linebackers committed for the class of 2022, and there’s a good chance that the Fighting Irish will add to that haul with even more 4-star talent.
If you follow the Rivals FutureCast or the 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions, things look very, very good for Notre Dame football recruiting’s efforts at the linebacker position. In addition to their current commitments from Burnham and Nolan Zeiger, the Irish appear to be leading for at least three more elite, 4-stat linebackers at moment.
