With one month until the early signing period commences, Notre Dame landed its 21st commitment in the class of 2019 on Monday. Not only is JD Bertrand (Blessed Trinity Catholic High School; Roswell, Ga.) a consensus four-star linebacker, but he is also the second such commitment in a class already heavy on defenders. Bertrand makes for 12 defensive players among those 21 pledges.
Bertrand’s all-around aptitude attracted the likes of Florida, LSU and Wisconsin, not to mention his homestate Georgia, to whom Bertrand was committed up until the first week of October.
I am very excited to announce that I am committed to The University of Notre Dame!
