The Fighting Irish started off the weekend adding speed and athleticism to their 2016 recruiting class, landing wide receiver/cornerback Jalen Elliott and wide receiver Kevin Stepherson.

Elliott helped L.C. Bird (Va.) High School to a 14-2 record in 2014 earning national recruiting attention along the way. The 6-1, 175-pound, two-way star has picked up offers from Auburn, Georgia, Miami, N.C. State, North Carolina, Wake Forest, East Carolina, Maryland, and in-state powers Virginia and Virginia Tech.

Auburn, Georgia, and Notre Dame each hosted Elliott on unofficial visits before he committed to the Fighting Irish on Friday.
