There’s been a steady stream of positive Notre Dame football recruiting news over the last few months, but Sunday night, the Irish got their first bit of bad news in some time. Promising defensive end Darren Agu, a raw pass rusher believed to have a very high ceiling, announced he was decommitting from Notre Dame.
Agu has not played a lot of football, but most project him to be a potential impact defensive end in a few years. Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Miami, Penn State, and a host of others all offered Agu. That kind of offer list is not typical for a low-rated three-star recruit.
