SOUTH BEND, Ind. — It’s the day after recruiting Christmas, and Notre Dame football officially unveiled its 23-man recruiting class of 2016 on Wednesday.
There were few surprises for the Irish on national signing day, as Notre Dame landed linebacker Jonathan Jones but missed out on fellow ’backers Ben Davis, Jeffrey McCulloch and Caleb Kelly throughout the rest of the day.
In all, the Irish check in with the 15th-best class in the country.
