If you’re a close follower of year round recruiting, how many times have you asked yourself “what’s going on with Notre Dame at defensive back?” For me, it’s absolutely in the double digits. While every other position has been relatively clear in terms of targets and commitments, defensive back has been the opposite of that.
It’s been pretty clear since the end of 2019 and the beginning of the 2020 cycle that Notre Dame wanted to take five defensive backs in the upcoming class. It’s also been clear that Kelly and co. weren’t sure where those commitments would come from.
