Notre Dame gets the letters: Consensus four-star defensive tackles Jacob Lacey and Hunter Spears

JACOB LACEY
South Warren High School; Bowling Green, Ky.
Measurements: 6’2”, 290 lbs.
Accolades: Consensus four-star; No. 21 defensive tackle in the class, per rivals.com, and No. 8 prospect in Kentucky.

Other Notable Offers: Ohio State, Michigan and Clemson all made offers to Lacey, but he remained steadfast in his recruitment to Notre Dame for nearly a year-and-a-half.

Projected Position: Defensive tackle.

Quick Take: A prototypical defensive tackle, Lacey provides raw power in the middle. When dialed in, that can create as much chaos in the backfield as a lightning quick end.
